Designed for versatility, this tie ensures an easy knot and complements any occasion—from formal gatherings to smart-casual events. 100% Silk School Colours and Their MeaningThe London School of Economics adopted black, purple, and gold as its official colours in 1919, with discussions about an emblem and motto following soon after. These colours are now central to LSE’s academic identity, featured in graduation attire, ceremonial events, tradition and branding. Purple reflects LSE’s historical roots and its dedication to the social sciences. Gold symbolizes academic excellence and the School’s leadership in research and education. Black is associated with the motto “Rerum cognoscere causas”—“To know the causes of things.”
