Balance colours and subtle patterns with your shirt and the occasion.

REAL MAN · Style and occasions

A tie works with the shirt collar and the rest of the outfit. A few simple choices can make a large range of colours easier to navigate.

Begin with a calm base

A white or pale-blue shirt gives you room to try a darker tie. Consider the jacket and trousers too. View pieces together in natural light rather than relying on a screen for an exact colour match.

Vary the scale of patterns

A plain tie is an easy partner for a patterned shirt. If you combine patterns, varying their scale can keep the result more legible. Treat this as a starting point, not a compulsory rule. One strong motif with quieter supporting pieces is often easier to balance.

Consider width and knot together

Check actual tie width, collar space and lapel proportions. A slimmer tie often works with a smaller knot. Adjust the finished length against the trouser waistband and keep the collar comfortable. Untie the knot after wear and follow the fabric’s care label before treating a mark.
