Title: Why do striped ties usually have left to right downward diagonals?

Pieter Horn  asked the Naked Scientists:
   Dear Chris,

My second question (a bit silly) is about an observation that 99%  of men's striped neck ties have the the line starting at the top left and end at the bottom right. Is this due to the most effective fashion statement or is there some obscure psychological reason.
