Social Primer is known for creating high quality reversible bowties that can be worn multiple ways. With bold colors and contrasting prints, the Charleston based brand offers a fun take on the classic prep bowtie. Currently, our favorite pick is this nautical knot tie.

One side of the Omega Silk Repp ($60) bowtie is red, gold and navy stripes, while the other side is a nautical knot print. It can be worn six different ways, depending on your outfit and the occasion. Showing all stripes, all knot print and four ways with a mix of both (our favorite featured above). No matter which way you wear it, this bowtie is sure to attract a great deal of attention.

Spring has brought with it some confusing weather so far- a mix of sunny, rainy, cold and windy days- making it difficult to decide what to wear on a day-to-day basis. One solution is a long sleeve t-shirt- like this one from Social Primer, another of our favorite Charleston brands. For a limited time, use the code TSH50 to get 50 percent off all their long tees.

The Coat of Arms Long Sleeve Pocket Shirt ($40, currently $20 with TSH50 code) features the brand's logo on the front pocket and it's coat of arms on the back. The navy t-shirt can be worn on its own, or over a shirt and tie, as seen in the pictures. To brighten it up for spring, you could wear one of the brand's new bowties, which we featured in a previous post for the Carolina Cup. But act quick, with a 50 percent discount, these shirts aren't gonna be in stock much longer.
