Product Insights
The Le 31 Retro Mini-Square Tie is a 2.75-inch, 100% silk tie that bridges formal suits and smart-casual looks, offering all-day comfort through breathable drape and secure knots. Its modern slim width flatters slim-to-medium builds but may be too narrow for broader frames. The mini-square pattern pairs with bold-stripe or gingham shirts and textured fabrics like chambray, though careful pattern mixing is needed to avoid clash. Priced at CAD 79, it requires professional dry cleaning to preserve the silk.
