Men’s Tie Sets - A Guide to Keep in Mind

We’re not exaggerating when we say this: Men’s tie sets have evolved from a custom dress code to a style statement. 

While in the business setting, wearing a tie showcases authority and integrity, a lot of occasions such as a work meeting or a friend’s wedding call for a suited and booted look to add that hint of charm, sophistication, and poise to your personality. This is where wearing a tie comes in.

Whether you like it plain or patterned, there are a lot of factors you need to pay attention to when it comes to pulling off formal attire. From considering the occasion we’re dressing for, and the fabric quality of the tie, to how we are going to mix and match in terms of colors and patterns, there’s a range of matters involved while picking out that perfect tie set.

Tips to Consider When Buying a Tie Set

In this guide, we walk you through some of the basics of having a well-coordinated outfit featuring ties.

Let’s dive in!

1. Is it Occasion Relevant?

   The first and foremost thing to take into account is the event you want to attend. Is it for an office presentation? Then wearing an animal-printed tie would be a major failure. Instead, opt for something minimal like plaid, simple stripes, or solid-colored ties that help you maintain a professional look without going too formal.

   Similarly, if you’re dressing up for a wedding or any other formal event, then a maroon tie or a black silk tie is going to be your best bet. Pair a Maroon tie with a light blue shirt for a statement look that speaks nothing but elegance, and grandeur.

2. What’s the Fabric?

   From silk to knitted and grenadine ties, the look and feel of a tie depends a lot on its fabric. For example, silk ties are a great accessory to level up your formal look, thanks to their timeless charm. They are fashion-forward, luxurious, and smart.
   
   

   Pro-tip: To achieve a sleek look, we advise choosing neutral colors such as black or blue silk neckties to add a touch of spark needed to grace any somber event with class, and sophistication.

3. Printed or Plain?

   To be honest, it is as much a matter of your preference as it is a matter of occasions. If you want to enhance your casual look then a printed casual tie is a must-have in your collection.

   To keep things decent yet lively, go for micro-patterns such as stripes and subtle polka dots for the win. Not a fan of prints? You can still rock a business casual look by pairing a striped shirt with a plain navy blue tie or a blue checkered shirt with a red plain tie.

4. Is it Seasonal Appropriate?

   Seasonality is another important factor to consider when investing in men’s tie sets. For instance, darker earthy tones such as browns, mustard yellows, and olive greens are more suitable for a fall and winter theme whereas pastels go well with summer. By wearing darker colors, you add a noticeable level of refinement to your style.
   
   

   Moreover, winters are also associated with bulkier fabrics, making it an ideal time to flaunt those woolen and knitted ties from your wardrobe.
