Navy blue suit — the most versatile
- Red or burgundy ties for a high-contrast look.
- Ties in gold or mustard tones for a warm touch.
- Light blue ties for an elegant monochromatic look.
Gray suit — the eternal classic
- Any red or wine shade: classic and timeless contrast.
- Deep blues: elegant and professional.
- Dark greens: a contemporary nod that's becoming increasingly popular.
Black suit — less is more
Black demands sobriety. Opt for solid ties in dark or gray tones for galas or formal evening events.
Brown or camel suit — the bold choice
Warm tones like orange, ochre, or terracotta and also olive greens go wonderfully with it.
The pattern rule
If your suit has stripes or checks, opt for a solid tie. If the suit is plain, you can play with patterns like paisley.
