In the days when I wore daily ties for work, I had a handful of funky ones for other occasions.
My two favourites were a crocodile print silk tie and a Looney Tunes characters one. Both lost during moves.
I also have a wedding to attend later this year so was thinking of getting a local taylor to make me a waist coat with an Asian theme embroidered back, then add a bright tie. ( dress code is smart but no full suits ).
As the wedding is mixed race there will be a 50/50 Asian/Western presence.
