Pin Dots - I like them in white on my tie:

But also in other colors (gold, purple, orange and light blue) on my tie (again, as long as the tie is navy/blue):

Please share any love you have for them here.

I am not sure that there is much use for them outside the world of ties or pocket squares - I don't wear the latter - but of course, don't let that stop you sharing them here.

I want a blue, purple, or bown "pin dot" tie, but I rarely wear ties so don't want to spend much on them. Any ideas?

I don't wear ties often (Business casual work environment), but when I do I must say my Navy/White Pin-dot RLPL tie gets the most wear. I know some people say its formal, but I don't care I think it looks awesome. I want one in purple too

I love pin dots also, here is an unlined 7-fold that we custom wove the Celtic Green on Midnight Blue English silk for a client last year. The silk is a heavy English 350 warp which works well with unlined 7-folds. Before:

After:

A closeup showing the tip: Note getting the tip just right is something that must be done very carefully and it helps to have pocket square experience.
