Just like the rest of our wardrobe, we constantly rotate pieces in and out of our tie collection.  Yes, we still break out the traditional silks from time to time, but for summer we tend to stick with lighter fabrics whenever it is possible. Recently, we were turned on to a tie that fits the bill perfectly for just about everything from a day in the office to a summer wedding. It’s the Red Linen Blend Tie ($75) from Read’s Clothing Project.

Made in the USA from a cotton/linen blend that is sourced in Italy, this tie is definitely a bit different than anything else we have hanging in the closet. At only 2.5 inches wide at it’s widest point, RCP has kept this tie sleek, but it’s still not skinny by any means. With a great texture, and enough white to give it a decidedly “beachy” feel, the Red Linen Blend Tie is sure to be a head turner this summer.
