A necktie with integrated, individually addressable, multi-colored light emitting diode (LED) modules arranged in a rectangular matrix format. These LED modules are connected together and controlled by means of an onboard microcontroller. Functionality is included in order to facilitate the installation of custom light patterns by the user after manufacture. The device includes an onboard wireless communication module in order to facilitate communication with an external control interface, such as an application on a smartphone, so the light patterns displayed by the LEDs may be modified based on user input.
