Wedding Ties

Are you asking about when you're wearing a stroller and button boots or with a lounge suit (on the beach)?

I imagine you could wear whatever. I think the simpler black and white ones tend to look best.

I'm telling your wife.

The three most classic patterns are (left to right) houndstooth, shepherd's check, and glen plaid:



Shepherd's check is, IMO, the ne plus ultra of wedding ties, and my favorite.

Black/white/silver/gray is the safest and most iconic color palate. But dark blue can substitute for black and is very elegant.

The one in the center is blue and yellow shepherd's check on a pale silver ground. I like it for spring/summer:



The one on the far left is a light navy with a silver plaid. Second from left is a silver/black Macclesfield. Second from right is a classic shepard's check. Far right is a houndstooth.

Here is a houndstooth with pale blue and dark brown (thank you, AlanC!):



Some more Macclesfields:

Macclesfield wedding ties are usually black and silver as they are worn with a black jacket and gray trousers as well as those gorgeous black shoes with gray suede uppers.

I was going to post pics but manton beat me to it.

I can only dream.

But I do have black bal boots!

Now, that's a pretty tie. I really can't get myself to wear a black and white one.

What the hell is wrong with you?

And, of course, you always have the option of black and silver.

It seems too monochromatic, particularly with a dark grey suit and a white shirt. If I were wearing a navy suit, it might be a different story.

^^^ Indeed. Where from?

I do tend to wear my black/silver ties with blue suits, and my blue/silver ties with gray suits. Not always, but I do like the way it looks.

I've seen these in both blue and black from RLPL at the RL shop here in Dallas. I have the black/white one, but not the blue/white one.

In case you're wondering, no polo pony anywhere in sight.
