You’ve always been okay with your man’s fashion choices. Frat tee and wind pants? Fine by you.

But your folks are coming to dinner, and you made one simple request: Match. Please.

Now the doorbell’s ringing, and you catch a glimpse of the poor lad. Dear lord, he’s coordinated his tie with the tableware.

At least, you tell yourself, it’s all from Lena Corwin, a textile designer who makes vintage-fabric ties and puts colorful prints on melamine plates and cotton throw pillows.

You’d considered getting patterns from her Pom Pom and Village collections for your tabletop. Then you thought about her Travel plates (decorated with gondolas and giraffes) for dessert. But in the end, you fell for the floral August dishes. That’s when he chose the retro Harte tie.

Great minds think alike? Match made in heaven?

Whatever. At the moment all you can do is smile and tie the knot.

Of his necktie, silly.
