When Should I Wear a Tie?

Matching a tie to a suit is an important part of creating the perfect look. It shows your style and fits the event. It also gives you a chance to show off your style and personality. But how are we supposed to know when to wear a tie? And what type of tie should we wear? Let's explore how to pick the right tie for different occasions.

Business Workplace

  • Wearing brighter colors, bolder patterns, and unique textures are acceptable here.

  • Choose a solid color, like navy or dark red.

  • Subtle or repeating patterns are always appropriate.

  • Avoid bright colors or flashy designs!

Example: Elevate your office attire by matching a light gray suit with a vibrant floral or paisley tie, showcasing your personality while maintaining a polished appearance. Yes, we all know that looks boring!

Wedding & Prom

  • According to Men's Wearhouse, solid-colored matching tie can be a great option for prom, preferably in satin.

  • For formal weddings, stick with classic colors and patterns.

  • For casual weddings, you can be more daring.

Example: For prom, match your date. Wear a red satin tie with a black suit if she wears red. At formal weddings, go classic. Pick a silver tie with subtle diagonal stripes for a gray suit. Casual weddings allow fun. Try a light pink tie with white polka dots on a tan suit.

Funeral

  • Stick to dark colors, primarily black or dark gray

  • Avoid patterns or bright colors; keep it somber and respectful

Example: When attending a funeral, demonstrate respect by wearing a black suit with a solid black tie, creating a somber and dignified appearance.

Seasonal Event

  • For Spring and Summer, we should try to wear lighter colors, floral patterns, and pastel shades

  • For Fall and Winter, we should wear darker tones and heavier fabrics.

Example: Preparing for "Shakespeare in the Park" this weekend, a New Yorker could wear a pale blue tie with small yellow flowers.

From business meetings to weddings, from funerals to social events. Each occasion needs a different tie style. Use these tips to choose the right tie every time. Now you're ready to dress sharp for any event!
