The Repp Tie

It seems like every other season a style directory like GQ publishes a piece on the various styles of ties a man should own.  For my own part, I have seen fit to collect nothing but repp ties.  I have never been a fan of busy ties like plaid, madras, or checks.  Solid ties seem too bland and theme-featured ties a bit too contrarian.  The repp tie, on the other hand, is perfect in nearly every instance.  They come in all sorts of patterns and variations, making their accumulation a most worthy pursuit.  There really is no other tie a man needs when he has a sufficient number of repp ties.  And forget all that talk about cotton ties for summer and wool ties for winter.  Ties are an accessory.  That would be like telling one to wear one's gold watch only in the summer or one's ring only in the winter.  Seasonal ties are therefore an oxymoron.  The silk repp tie is the only tie that you will ever need.  Just make sure that you have plenty of them!
