LOOK 1: THE CLASSIC NECKTIE
Autumn naturally lends itself to layered outfits, and the perfect finishing touch can be found in a statement tie.
The Medieval Alphabet Silk Tie is a vibrant design featuring medieval letters in rich autumnal hues. Produced under licence from the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, this tie draws inspiration from illuminated manuscripts in the museum’s collection. Founded in 1816, The Fitzwilliam holds one of Europe’s most extensive art collections, making this tie a piece steeped in cultural history.
For a more nature-inspired look, the Morris Birds Silk Tie offers a subtle nod to the natural world, with warm browns and golds complementing the autumnal palette. This design is based on the works of William Morris, a pioneer of the Arts and Crafts movement, whose detailed patterns and reverence for nature helped revive traditional craftsmanship during the industrial era. The rich autumnal tones of this tie pair beautifully with classic wardrobe pieces like these tan stretch chinos, navy shirt, and this Wool Rich Herringbone Blazer (all from Next.com.
Royalties from the sale of this particular pattern support the Victoria & Albert Museum.

LOOK 2: ROMAN HISTORY MEETS SILK
The Roman Mosaic Silk offers a design steeped in history, featuring wave-like patterns inspired by ancient Roman mosaics.
The colour palette of sea blue, beige, taupe, and autumnal reds captures the elegance of Roman art, which often depicted mythological and everyday scenes through intricately crafted mosaics. Some of the finest examples of this craftsmanship can be found in Pompeii, where mosaics have been preserved for centuries, offering a glimpse into the artistry of the Roman world.
The tie or bow tie both work seamlessly with autumn's neutral tones. Whether you're investing in new pieces or styling with what you already own, this versatile pattern complements the warmth and texture of a classic autumn wardrobe, adding a touch of historical sophistication.
The question is, are you a bow tie or necktie kinda guy?

LOOK 3: POCKET SQUARE SOPHISTICATION
For those who prefer a more subtle approach, pocket squares offer the perfect way to add a thoughtful touch without the need for a tie. This season, we are highlighting two designs that pay homage to British wildlife.
The Pheasant Silk Pocket Square features one of the most iconic British game birds. Crafted from silk twill and hand-finished with traditional rolled hems, its deep green and gold hues evoke a classic countryside aesthetic. Pheasants are long associated with the British countryside, especially during autumn, making this pocket square a fitting tribute to the season's rural charm.
Alternatively, the Stag Pocket Square in rich burgundy with golden stags offers a striking alternative. The red deer stag, particularly revered during the autumn rutting season in the UK, is deeply embedded in British folklore. This design captures the majestic qualities of the stag, a fitting symbol for the autumn landscape.
Both pocket squares pair effortlessly with a variety of neutral wardrobe pieces, making them adaptable to what you already have in your closet or any new additions you might choose for the season.
