Since a striped tie is not a part of our general culture, I guess our sensibilities are geared to colors blending in. I, for one, was taught never to wear any colors which clashed. I don't think this is unusual for my generation.

But then, for many of us, the British style isn't our model of dressing. Nor is there any reason it should be.

Well you are seemingly willing to buy into the kilt wearing world which one way or another is British, albeit the Scots part of it!

Great suggestion, Jock.

I don't have any military connections myself, but I have found that my high school tie -- we received these for graduation -- is my "go to" tie if a necktie is called for:



I actually got the idea that the combination might work from seeing pictures of British regimental ties combined with Highland wear.

Thanks, I needed that.

I understand that tartan ties are wrong and taboo, but is anything wrong with tweed ties?

I have quite a few of the striped ties. As far as I can remember, I only have a couple of solid color ties: a navy blue, and a black. I also have a burgundy bow tie that a family member gave to me not too long ago.

Some of my ties have a few different colors, but are not in a particular patern, more like specks of color woven into the fabric . And I often pick out ties that have a texture or are made of a fabric other than smooth silk or satin.
