At Ties R Us were all about using our expert knowledge to help you to customise your suit in the best of winter colouring, effortlessly creating an extremely stylish appearance ready for any events you may be going to.

Blue

A typical wintery colour, an ice blue tie or bow-tie can really stand out as an eye-catching feature. But why not try to mix and match blues, a darker blue tie with a powder blue or bright blue pocket square. Just because it’s a dark season doesn’t mean that everything you wear needs to be drab! Brighter blue is an excellent way to bring an outfit together, especially against a grey or dark blue suit.

Silver

Silver always has been and will continue to be a classy colour, guaranteed to add a touch of style to a formal outfit in the form of a tie. A bold silver colour gives that added sparkle to your outfit, and at Ties R Us we’ve got a whole host in a range of incredible materials. If you want to blend in, but still keep that traditional wintery/cold colour, try a duller silver bordering almost towards grey.

Gold

Is there a more Christmassy related colour available? A touch of gold will brighten up any formal attire and look great in the process. Ideal colouring for a wedding or party around Christmas time and can provide the perfect colour for a the whole of a wedding party. Try mixing it up and pairing it with a silver pocket square if you’re feeling brave!

Burgundy, purple and deep reds
A classic autumn colour, burgundy embraces a host of wonderful warm feelings that are ideal for the season. These colours are great to wear at formal events where you need to look smart, but also want to look like you’ve thought about your outfit.

Earthy greens
Opting for a green tie that mimics the Earth’s natural colours is a great way to autumn-up your outfit, contributing towards a fresh and fashion-forward appearance.

Woody browns
Autumn is the time where the leaves are known to fall off the trees, leaving them bare. Sporting clothes that are brown and reminiscent of wood in this season can add something unique to your look.

As trees lose their leaves, the leaves often become yellow, associating the colour with the season autumn. Instead of choosing a bright, primary yellow, choose the warmer shades that remind you of leaves.

Find Your Perfect Colour & Style Of Tie

When coming to pick out a colour or style of tie for an occasion it can become a tricky affair, well here at Ties R Us, we’re hoping to help. Our tips on which style suits the occasion and your suit better to what colour blend well with each others and how to avoid a clash and ruin what could potentially be a big day in your life.

Weddings

A wedding is probably going to be the biggest day of your life, if it’s yours that is your wedding, but even if you’re part of the wedding ensemble finding the right colour is key. Obviously, having the groom, his best man and ushers all in the same coloured tie is the best way to go, we’d recommend a traditional cut tie rather than a skinny one. Try and tick with the traditional rich colours you would usually expect from a wedding, so cream, gold, silver and lilac are all real winners. Alternatively, you could have the groom in one colour and have the rest of the party in a contrasting colour, for example a gold tie for the groom so he stands out with the rest in a silver tie. If you’re just attending a wedding don’t be afraid to go for the a patterned tie to really bring your outfit together though, they look great with all suit colours.

Prom

With it being a prom, it’s usually going to be a first suit so likeliness is it will be a skinner cut one, which are all the trend lately. With that being said a skinny tie is the obvious choice for a prom, it gives off a younger vibe and looks great. Patterned and striped ties work very well in a prom setting, with bolder colours coming through, so think green, red, blue and silver at a push, depending on the colour of your suit.

Interviews and Formal Parties

Again the skinny tie looks great in both of these settings, but obviously tailored to what job you’re applying for as to how bold of a colour to wear, subdued and subtle colours are always a winner. As for formal parties depending on the theme you can never go wrong with a darker coloured tie, they look great paired with any colour

Colour Of Your Suit

Depending on the colour of your suit is what colour tie and hanky we would recommend, there are some colours that work extremely well against each other but some that should be avoided.

Blue Suit: For a blue suit, most being a darker shade, we’d recommend a bold colour or patterned tie. Think red, purple, orange, green and silver.

Black Suit: A black suit can be tricky as you’d easily get away with a black tie on a white shirt, but usually that’s a look reserved for a funeral, but then again in certain party themes you may be on to a winner. Again, think bolder block coloured ties, like red, orange, silver and don’t be afraid to try a pink one, also a brilliant white tie looks excellent against a black shirt!

Grey Suit: You can never go wrong colour wise with a grey suit and it’s a good excuse to wear colours that wouldn’t work with other coloured suits, such as yellows and peaches, but also stripped ties and gold black and blue colours contrast very well against a light or dark grey suit.

Mix And Match Ties & Pocket Squares

At Ties R Us we stock a whole range of incredibly stylish ties, bow-ties, pocket squares and accessories, we cater for all types of personalities and colour themes so you’re bound to find something for you. When it comes to ties and pocket squares matching them up can be a tricky affair, but we’re here to tell you that mixing and matching pocket squares and ties in band on trend.
Paisley & Solid Colour

Paisley style clothing has come right back into fashion over the past couple of years, as a sort of nod to 60’s and 70’s fashion. The style has crept into the world of ties and there has been some
stunning designs. A blend of rich and subtle colours makes a great paisley pattern, and we at Ties R We stock some incredibly stylish designs of paisley ties and pocket squares. Just because your tie is of a paisley design doesn’t mean your pocket square has to match, and vice-versa, try a matching solid colour, or even a contrasting solid colour if you want to make a statement, the pattern and block colour work incredibly well together.

Polka Dots & Solid Colour

Much like the paisley design polka dots are and have always been right in style when it comes to ties and pocket squares. But we would recommend going for a solid colour tie and a polka dot pocket square rather than the other way round. The small amount of polka dots in the form of a pocket square is much more eye catching, especially with larger polka dots. Try to avoid larger polka dots on a tie as you could drift towards becoming too ‘wacky’, however smaller dots on a tie are always on trend and look great in any setting.

Stripes & Spots

For a truly unique look, try pairing a striped tie with a polka dotted pocket square. The style is great for any formal situation, such as wedding or christenings, try both brighter and more subdued colours to find your perfect combination, also the bolder colours are great if you wanted to make a fashion statement.

Contrasting Colours

Instead of the same pairing of traditional block colours together, why not think out of the box and mix and match contrasting colours? It’s very much up to personal taste with what colours you think you suit best, it’s always a great way to match to your personality or to even seasons/occasions; think green and reds for around christmas time for example.

Lighter Colours For Summer

With summer finally here and the sun shining it’s about time to put away the darker shades and get out the lighter colours. With fantastic products available at Ties R Us we’re taking a look at which colours work well in the summer months.

Coral

It may take some work to pull off a coral tie, but the clean look certainly is a winner for the warmer months. We’d advise wearing a coral coloured tie in a prom or wedding setting, usually working well with a grey suit. Cream ties also look great as part of a the wedding ensemble, with the groom, best man and ushers all wearing the matching colour.

Mint

Mint coloured ties and bow ties come across as incredibly stylish and on trend, and go perfectly as a wedding tie. The contrast against a darker suit or white shirt really works well. Especially in the warmer weather, the mint colouring really gives off a summery feel and can be used to reflect a person’s mood. To give off an edgier, cool vibe try a mint bow-tie.

Peach

The quintessential subtle summer colour when it comes to ties and bow ties, it works great with whatever colour you put it with. In an array of different shades of peach, you can really customise your suit to how bright and bold of a peach colour you want, with different shades suited for different purposes. Try a lighter bolder shade for weddings, where a more toned down version for a formal parties, events and work.

Orange/Yellow

The bolder block colours of yellow and orange scream summer style. Ideal if your plan is to stand out or make a statement, these shades would work really well again within a wedding party. Paler shades of yellow and orange are not only the perfect representation of warm colours, but look superb when matched with the right colours such as greys and blues.

Obviously there are many more colours suited for summer wear out there these are just a few of our favourites. Don’t be afraid to go for ‘out-there’ colours that you usually wouldn’t mix with your smarter outfits and make them come alive, adding a splash of colour to black, white, blue or grey is never a bad thing!
