Tie Colour Trends for Summer 2016

With summer finally upon us, it’s time to take a look at the new colour trends this season. Pantone, described as the “authority of colour”, have spoken, and introduced us to all the new ‘it colours’ of summer. As reflected in the Pantone colour charts for 2016, summer brings about the opportunity to have fun with colour – think bolder, brighter and more adventurous choices, alongside the expected pastel shades. With an eye on the hottest colour trends for summer, we’ve gathered together a collection of some of our favourite ties of the moment, available right here at Ties R Us.

Red – Vibrant and punchy, this year’s on-trend red is a shade called ‘Fiesta’. A bold red with coral undertones, this shade is perfect for a vibrant pop of colour this season. Fiesta red is ideal for special occasions, being hailed as one of the summer’s hottest wedding shades. Snap up the fiesta red classic men’s tie to make an impression at your special event.

Pinks – Rose Quartz holds onto its moment in the spotlight, remaining a top choice for summer – check out our light pink paisley tie to get involved in the trend. In summer, you can also get away with going bolder in your fashion choices. A bright pink is a great option; fashionable and lively, we love this fuchsia pink bow-tie and pocket square set.

Blue – The beautiful shade of blue called ‘serenity’ is promised to be huge this summer. As the name suggests, this shade is calm and airy, giving a crisp and clean finish to your look. The sky blue textured men’s tie and hanky set from Ties R Us is ideal for achieving this smart and sophisticated look. Deeper blues also promise to be everywhere this year, with the Pantone shade ‘snorkel blue’ spotted all over the runways at fashion week. Snap up this royal blue skinny tie to work this trend into your formal wear.

Green – The pastels and mint greens of spring give way to a bolder and brighter option this summer. The Pantone shade called ‘Green Flash’ is promised to be huge throughout 2016. A lively, bright and bold choice, this emerald green tie and hanky set is ideal for achieving the look yourself. A hugely versatile shade, this stunning green will work as well for the office as it will for any special occasions this summer.

Shades of Blue

We’ve discussed colour many times before here at Ties R Us – after all it is a proven fact that wearing different colours gives off different signals, evokes different emotions and can even change your look completely. Trying to find the ‘right’ colour for your tie can often be difficult – if you do get stuck, we blue is a great choice. Considered the “all-purpose” tie colour, a shade of blue is one of the safest options you can go for due to just how versatile it can be.

Blue can mean many different things; it is calm and relaxed, yet professional and credible, making it an appropriate choice for a multitude of occasions. Here at Ties R Us we have a large selection of blue ties and handkerchiefs to choose from in many different shades – here’s just a few of our favourites:

Navy Textured Classic Men’s Tie

Navy is a colour that is often worn by pilots, evoking images of professionalism and respect, making this the ideal shade to impress at a job interview or show authority at work. Navy blue is a great “power tie” shade – it is less threatening and aggressive than a red tie, yet still conveys the same feelings of confidence and credibility.

Electric Blue Satin Skinny Men’s Tie

An electric blue is a great colour to add some excitement to your outfit. Great for a formal but fun affair, an electric blue is a bold and fashionable choice without being too “out there”. This skinny satin offering is perfect for bringing any formal outfit bang on trend – try wearing for a prom or a semi-formal work event.

Light Blue Satin Classic Men’s Tie Handkerchief Set

A toned down light blue tie gives a calm and relaxed feel. Reminiscent of the sea and sky, a light blue tie is a great choice for the spring and summer months. This classic light blue satin tie comes in a set with a handkerchief, making it a great option to smarten up for a formal affair such as a spring or summer wedding.

Blue and White Polka Dot Skinny Boys Tie

A polka dot tie has a young and playful feel, ideal for younger boys wanting to dress up for a special event. This blue and white boys tie is the perfect mix of fun and formal – the polka dots help make it lively without being garish. Our selection of boys ties are suitable for ages 6-11, making it easy for younger members of the family to look just as smart as you do!

Sky Blue Floral Classic Men’s Tie Handkerchief Set

Floral prints have been all over the runways this season and one easy way to work this fashionable trend into your wardrobe is with a floral tie. We love this subtle sky blue and white floral tie and handkerchief set – the floral design adds an element of style to your formal wear without being too over the top. We think this set is perfect for a relaxed and stylish formal look at a wedding or christening.

With so many different shades of blue and so many different ways that they can be worn, you really can’t go wrong with a high quality and stylish blue tie from Ties R Us. Check out our full collection of blue ties today to find the perfect one for you.

Colours For Spring

The frost is beginning to melt, days are slowly getting that little bit longer – it is officially nearly spring! Spring marks the transition from bare trees and cold winter days to the reintroduction of colour, whether this appears in the form of brighter days and blooming spring flowers or in our wardrobes. It is time to ditch the rich and earthy tones we love to wear over the autumn / winter months and look at the subtle pastels of spring.

Here at Ties R Us we have a vast array of ties that we think would be perfect to add that subtle pop of colour to any spring event. Whatever look you want to go for, from traditional to skinny or bow ties, we have it covered. We even have a large selection of boys ties for any younger members of the family wanting a smarten up for a special occasion. Here are some colours we think would be perfect for the spring months;

Green

Move away from the earthy greens of autumn and the festive greens of winter and instead opt for a soft pastel or mint green. Our sage, mint or avocado ties are ideal for bringing a soft splash of colour to a formal outfit, and look especially good when paired with a grey suit.

Rose

Rose is a colour that is going to be huge in Spring 2016 – it is gentle, light and fashionable. Here at Ties R Us we have a perfect light pink paisley tie to bring you bang on-trend this season.

Lilac

Whereas purple is a colour that may be a touch too dark for a spring affair, its pastel counterpart lilac will work perfectly. It reflects the fresh, cool and clean elements of spring while still managing to bring colour to a more formal look. Try this subtly striped lilac tie, ideal for a spring wedding or christening!

Yellow

If you aren’t one for subtlety, yellow is one colour you can always get away with in spring. Daffodils, baby chicks, the sun; yellow is a spring colour that can definitely be worn bright! Our bright yellow tie is available in a variety of styles and is guaranteed to brighten up any outfit.

Of course this is just a small selection of what we have to offer at Ties R Us. We have many other high quality ties throughout our site in the perfect pastel and spring shades, and as they’re all available in a variety of sizes and styles there’s bound to be one to suit you and your event. Happy browsing!
