Wellcultured - A men's fashion, fitness, sex, and lifestyle magazine.

Solid ties are like t-shirts: you need to have them in a few standard colors. Try to make sure you at least have a red and a black tie, if not a blue and a dark brown one. Avoid ridiculous patterns or styles- keep to the classics, they pair better. It's always best to go wild after you have a few staples, not before.
