If the context is even more casual it opens up even more possibilities, a world of flair and creativity. The whole world of pattern, to start with. Tieroom's enormous supply covers the whole pattern range, from standard patterns like dots, stripes and small-patterned to more festive ones like paisley ties or more alternative tie designs with depicting motifs. Lighter and brighter colour along with more vivid patterns are fit for spring, summer, garden parties and a night out. With a knitted tie you get the best of two worlds, the semi-formal and casual fashion worlds. As individuality grows, so does the possibility to create a fashion of your own. Signal professionalism at the office and respect with a sober, low-key tie and dark, formal suit, for example. If you're a lawyer, a navy blue tie may help you appear reliable and trustworthy, the darker the blue, the more conservative the effect. The red tie has become a power statement, which is why it’s so popular among politicians, business executives and other people of power. Red ties are frequent business wear in general, but usually in darker shades. Dark red or burgundy ties are business classics and combined with a charcoal grey business suit, you'll blend in at any workplace with a dress code. Wearing a suit and a solid tie in a discreet colour is almost always acceptable. Our ties are of the finest quality, and make great gifts for loved ones, as well as stylish accessories for almost every kind of ensemble. Whilst a lot men do tend to shy away from what they perceive to be more feminine shades, this is a mistake, because colours like pink, purple and lilac are the ideal way to inject a little personality into dour outfits.

This shade is complemented by whites, pale and dark blues, greys and even creams. A pale pink tie always looks wonderful teamed with either a crisp, plain white shirt, or a white shirt with very subtle pin stripes.

When it comes to ties, letting personal taste guide is usually better than abiding by rigid style rules., for the most part! The strict dos and don'ts are few, obvious things like: "don't wear a tie without a shirt!", "don't choose a conspicuous tie for a job interview or a funeral!" or "don't wear ties with shorts". But sure, there are things worth considering, aside from the obvious. If used well, the tie can efficiently help you convey almost any effect you desire. But, inconspicuous outfits can also turn out wrong in any given situation. Even seemingly casual, social contexts may have expectations and demands on your outfit, but more between the lines. So no matter how much you know about dos and don'ts, always pay attention to both dress codes and contexts, implicit dress codes as well as clearly specified ones. Move slowly from basic to advanced styling, building your fashion confidence step by step. Once you can call yourself a fashionista, you can violate the "fashion don'ts" and still look awesome.
