Fashion roundup: printed ties
Far from your uncle's snowman-adorned mistakes of holiday parties' past, the new breed of printed tie offers a more refined type of presentation. The updated models feature tiny prints scattered on bright backgrounds, meaning you'll catch someone's eye easily, but they'll have to lean in close to see the details. Just please don't confuse printed ties with novelty ties. Leave the tragic trout and played-out piano keys to the office clown.
