“There’s comfort in tradition, and people seem hungry for it right now,” says K. Cooper Ray, the Montgomery, Alabama, native and founder of the style blog socialprimer.com. Ray recently collaborated with Brooks Brothers on a bow-tie line for the company. His collection includes sixteen reversible bow ties that combine color and pattern in unexpected ways, making them a great match for another timeless staple—the blue blazer. $60 each; brooksbrothers.com
