Beige Tie 3 Folds MANTOVA in Italian Madder Silk

Style and Matching Tips - Madder Silk Don Mimì

This tie is a piece for true connoisseurs, a tribute to an almost lost tradition. It is made of Madder Silk, a legendary fabric obtained through an ancient printing process that gives the silk an unmistakable hand: chalky, powdery, almost cashmere-like to the touch, with deep yet wonderfully matte colors. This unique finish, combined with the warm autumn shades of camel, brown, and ochre yellow, makes the tie an accessory of cultured and whispered elegance, marked by the tailored excellence of Don Mimì.

• Country-Chic and Dandy Style:

  This is its preferred environment. The texture and colors of Madder Silk pair perfectly with brown or forest green tweed jackets or tobacco corduroy blazers. The ideal shirt is an off-white or sky-blue Oxford. For the pocket square, choose a burgundy or bottle green challis wool for a material and chromatic contrast. Brown leather or fabric suspenders will complete a perfect gentleman outfit.

• Contemporary Business Style:

  To bring a touch of warmth and culture to the office wardrobe. The most sophisticated pairing is with a navy blue suit: the contrast between the cool blue and warm camel is a classic of male elegance. Great also on a medium gray flannel suit. Wear it with a light blue shirt. As a pocket square, a blue silk with a micro-dot or a tone-on-tone paisley pattern will be an impeccable detail. Dark blue elastic suspenders are a functional and classy choice.

• Vintage Inspired / Intellectual Style:

  For a look that evokes a bygone elegance. Pair it with a deconstructed camel-colored wool blazer, worn over a blue merino wool V-neck sweater. The perfect trousers are gray flannel. The shirt can be a simple white poplin. Here, silk suspenders, perhaps in a deep burgundy color, become the protagonists. The pocket square can be a silk with an artistic print that recalls earth tones.
