What Tie Colour Should I Choose?

If you have a profession that requires you to wear business attire or formal wear every day, it goes without saying that you need a decent number of ties. Choosing the right ties to add to your wardrobe can be a never-ending process, as there are simply so many options available that you can't buy them all.

Buying a handful of ties without rhyme or reason is a surefire way to empty your wallet, and it can still leave you without all the essentials. Fortunately, Cravate Gentleman offers all the types of ties you need for a well-stocked wardrobe, and with most ties under €50, buying several of your favorites is still cheaper than a single tie from most brands.

Cravate Gentleman has what you're looking for, whatever your fashion sense or style. With hundreds of color, pattern, and material options, ties are available in traditional, slim, and knotted styles.

The plain tie

Plain ties are a staple in every man's wardrobe. They are clean, simple, and suitable for all environments – from the executive office to a casual lunch.

Choose a few colors like black, blue, and gray, and you can alternate between dozens of shirt and suit combinations.

 

The red tie

Owning a red tie is a must for any man. When it comes to ties, red symbolizes confidence and power. If you have a high-stakes business meeting or a job interview, show them you're the man they're looking for!

The tie doesn't need to be plain red, but make sure the red color is bold and vibrant.

 

The geometric tie

Geometrically shaped tie 

Geometric patterns are a great way to add a touch of color and style to your outfit, while still keeping it office-appropriate. You can even use them to coordinate your shirt and jacket with a single tie.

Choose a tie with multiple colors and the combinations are endless. This way, a single tie will allow you to wear many different looks.

 

The polka dot tie

Just like geometric patterns, polka dots are another great way to add color to the mix while remaining businesslike. When complex shapes and multiple colors are a bit much, a polka dot tie keeps things neat and simple.

 

The cashmere tie

When it's time to add a little flair to your outfit, a paisley tie is the answer. Although the paisley pattern resembles a teardrop, the style is actually derived from Middle Eastern floral motifs.

The intricate pattern allows for a wide range of colors, making the tie visually appealing. Even if you opt for a monochrome version, the pattern will still command attention.

 

The university tie

Harvard University tie 

Representing your alma mater or current university is usually done with clothing purchased from the campus bookstore, but when sweatshirts and t-shirts aren't suitable, varsity ties are a good option. They're a simple way to show your school pride while maintaining a formal appearance.

 

The fun or conversational tie

 Yellow and Teal Tie

When you dress for work, it's not always about work, and a tie is a great way to show a bit of personality. Whether you love jazz, duck hunting, or hockey, you can find a tie that will let you know.

 

A tie is an essential item for any man. Without it, the usual work uniform (shirt and tie) would be incomplete. It's also one of the most underrated accessories! Ties are no longer reserved for formal occasions; they are modern signs of individuality that allow you to express your personal style in any setting—from work to weddings or funerals.

 

With so many options available today, how do you know which type of tie will best suit your wardrobe? Here are 7 ties that should have a place on every gentleman's shelf at home.

We hope this list will help you refine the styles that match your tastes while continuing to flatter your outfit with our wide selection of colors and patterns.
