Accessory trends may come and go, but if there’s one piece that is as timeless as the man who wears it himself, it’s a tie. Reserved for the formal occasions or to add a touch of refinement to everyday dressing, ties come in a variety of designs, widths and fabrics to guarantee not only versatility but enduring appeal. It may be one of the simplest additions to your wardrobe, but it’s no doubt one of the hardest working.
The SS26 fashion shows last September firmly reintroduced the classic tie as a seasonal staple. Designers including Ferragamo, Ami Paris and Acne Studios showcased everything from relaxed, loosely styled ties to sharply tailored, smart looks, proving the adaptability of the neck accessory. And the style set has since approved, with the likes of Jonathan Bailey, Jacob Elordi and Callum Turner sporting the trend, whether paired with the obvious suit or the more casual jeans and loafers.
For formal events such as smart dinners, parties and weddings, a silk tie in neutral, plain tones is possibly the simplest but most effective choice. Think classic black and deep navy for effortless sophistication. For the really dressy occasions, a bow tie calls, taking you from well-dressed gentleman to 007 worthy. When it comes to your office wardrobe, consider experimenting with different textures or prints – such as knit or twill, stripy or floral – to bring personality into your wardrobe
