At Jay Kos, color runs riot, which is why the ties here shatter red-and-blue convention handsomely ($125-$150). Don't be scared by the preppy staples the store also carries, like those corduroys covered with whales.

Best known for Savile Row-style shirts, Thomas Pink is also super for bold woven ties in simple patterns ($75-$85). A sharp way to brighten up that closetful of royal-blue shirts.
