Choose carefully, live confidently. That's the manly personal motto of Miami native Daniel Figueredo, the creative force behind FIG, a new line of luxury neckwear that recently caught our eye.

"My style reflects the timeless charm and elegance of the '30s and '40s," the designer explains on his Web site. "There's a certain romance with neckwear that simply cannot be found in any other article of men's clothing." And he's got the fashion chops to back up his creative vision. Figueredo left behind a position with Louis Vuitton in New York to return home to launch his first collection last year.

His concept: To create stand-out ties that have that simple, effortlessly-powerful style and exude quality and luxury. The use of handmade Italian silk and original patterns quickly won clients' devotion, and suddenly, his pieces were being carried in stores from coast to coast. The most popular of the bunch? His signature paisley tie, a mixture of purple and pink tones that guarantees that the wearer gets noticed.

Oscar Wilde once famously said, "A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life." To ensure that you look good while taking that first serious step, snatch up one of Figueredo's dandy designs today!

FIG ties are available at Nordstrom locations throughout Miami.
