Tying the Knot - Plaid's Your Best Bet for Fall

According to GQ Magazine, plaid ties are all the rage this season: "We're in an era in fashion where all things traditional look modern again. Wear an amped-up plaid tie with a chambray shirt or a white oxford, and put a skinny suit on over it, and you'll look unimpeachably cool." Who among us doesn't want that?

Once you select your plaid, be it a family tartan or gorgeous Alexander Olch cashmere Glen Plaid (second from the top), learning how to properly knot the tie will separate the men from the boys. Once again, Brooks Brothers comes to the rescue with an informative tutorial here.
