Regimental ties with striped patterns are an important accessory in the male wardrobe. They feature a striped pattern with various color combinations. Striped ties can be distinguished between those that are properly English, with stripes descending from right to left, and those American-made, inspired by the English style but with stripes descending from left to right. Highly elegant and in perfect British style, today they are also used as sporty ties and are often worn with a blue blazer.
