The new collection from the Japanese company [A Bathing Ape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aape-by-a-bathing-ape-1) brings out four new ties for spring and summer, and more expansion on their classier fashion lines. BAPE began with baggy, street-styled clothing when they emerged onto the fashion scene; however, due to trends in recent years, they have refined their style to be more classic and elegant, without losing any street cred. The four ties in the BAPE 2011 Spring/Summer collection feature the iconic [BAPE camouflaged pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-ovo-1)--or you can choose from the elegant solid-colored neckties featuring an embroidered gold mustache.
