I have ordered many ties from this seller and some of them look a bit different than online (as many things do) but it is beautiful my goodness. I usually prefer stripes or solid colors in bow ties but this was a really elegant and attractive design and I think it looks best on a white or ivory shirt but it's not my job to tell you how. wearing a bow tie. They also fit people with a neck size of up to 20; I wear a size 19-19.5 and it fits fairly comfortably with some room for those with slightly larger necks.
