striped tie

Banded neck accessory

A striped tie is a necktie with diagonal stripes, typically in two or more alternating colors.

In British tradition, specific stripe patterns indicate membership in schools, regiments, or clubs—wearing stripes you haven't earned is a faux pas.

American striped ties, often called repp ties, carry no such associations and are simply a classic menswear pattern.
