The interesting thing about traditional black tie in the prepster demographic, which includes basically the entire South, is that the tie is very rarely black. If these gents are any indication of traditional Southern style, you’ll see that ties are usually bright and patterned and most likely of the Peter Blair, Vineyard Vines, or maybe even Charles Patrick variety. Bonus points are awarded to ties that can display a charming relevancy in the pattern as seen on Eric Thomas and his
Vineyard Vines cherry blossom tie. You, Eric Thomas, are the cherry blossom of my eye. I mean that.
