If Ferragamo gets away in the office, the Vineyard Vines patterns can too. Nobody really cares what your tie looks like, so long as you are presentable. I would not that I would probably dress more conservative your first week and when going to "off-site" events or meetings.

Note, I only have experience in business casual environments though.

I have this feeling that when undergrads think about the office environment of investment banks, they have this idea that it's like the office in American Psycho where everyone is dressed to the nines and having a bad tie day will seriously put your career in jeapordy.
