Coolest ties this season to go with any dress shirt

We know we've been jabbering on about ties a lot recently but it's only because there's been so many great varieties available in menswear this season. In spite of this, people still often associate the shirt & tie look with being boring, old or uncreative which is completely untrue given the range of options out there!

We've been fawning over this relatively new Brooklyn based brand TheHill-Side which makes neckties, scarves and handkerchiefs from unconventional materials such as selvedge chambray, hemp/cotton selvedge denim, left-hand twill, cotton duck, and waxed canvas. On top of this, each piece is hand-made and looks fabulous with any dress shirt or even as head or neckwear for the ladies (see below). We're eagerly awaiting the release of TheHill-Side's AW11 range but in the meantime, take a look at a few of the snaps from the SS11 lookbook.
