A few weeks ago, you met a talented Toronto designer named Keira Morgan of Etsy shop Handsome and Lace, who specializes in bow ties, suspenders and other such accessories for dudes that she makes herself by reusing vintage materials and clothes.
Today, allow me to introduce you to another Toronto designer who does something similar, only with a certain distinction; Torontonian Andrea Dixon also has a proclivity for crafting covetable neckwear, only her stuff is cut from cloths supplied by Liberty of London, the legendary British retailer known for selling richly printed fabrics. Her Etsy-based line Pomp & Ceremony features bow ties, neck ties and pocket squares of unrivaled quality, the majority of which feature gorgeous floral patterns and themes. Also, you'll want to let your lady know that she does some pretty headpieces and bows, too.
There will inevitably be a group of you who are still skittish when it comes to the whole floral print thing. Really, you shouldn't be, because nothing's more masculine than contrasting that bushy beard with—dare we say—feminine visuals, such as flowers. It shows you're man enough to express your delicate side (and we all know that's buried in there somewhere).
$25 to $72. Available online at Pomp & Ceremony's Etsy shop.
