DRESS & STYLE / THE STYLE GUIDE

Accessories

01 / AT THE NECK

Tie and Evening Neckwear

A necktie can bring texture, color or pattern to a suit. A bow tie carries different associations, especially in formal evening dress.

Start with the invitation and the shirt collar; do not use evening neckwear to make an ordinary suit into a tuxedo.

Consider this

Look at both options in the context of the full garment and the occasion.

02 / AT THE POCKET

Pocket Squares and Pattern Scale

A pocket square can echo a color without matching the tie exactly. Varying pattern scale helps keep the composition legible.

A quiet fold is often enough; leave a patterned tie room to speak.

Discuss how this detail relates to cloth, fit and intended use.
