So, I had a really great female client of mine ask for help for her husband. He wears a tie to the office, but not necessarily with a suit; he wears it with a quarter-zip because they live in Wisconsin. She asked me if I could do some videos on how to pick a tie to go with a sweater.
Now, her husband is very traditional. Think Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren, East-coast preppy…very traditional, so he is wearing quarter-zips that are a lot more traditional. These are Greyson, I sell them in my store, and he wears them in grays and blues - like, super, super traditional.
How to Style a Tie with a Sweater
So, when you are picking a tie to go with one of these looks, it’s the same as if you’re wearing it with a jacket. The sweater is kind of like your jacket, then you have your shirt, then you pick a tie. My clients are in the Midwest, so they are more conservative, like I said (though not all people in the Midwest are conservative…don’t worry about that). Pick a tie that coordinates with all the colors; so, something like this would go great with the blue, with the white, with the gray. It’s got the colors in everything.
Signature Pieces
You also want to decide what the statement piece of your outfit is. So, with shirts and sweaters in whites and blues, they are very classic, very mundane, very every day. So, you can pick some fun colors in your tie to really pop, and show a little fashion, show a little personality, show a little fun in your outfit. I love this pink! With the gray and the blue, it stands out and it’s totally a statement piece. The colors coordinate, but it’s not matchy-matchy. This is not prom! You’ve gone to the prom already. If you’re going to prom… don’t do matchy-matchy. But anyways, pick something that pops, pick something that is fun and doesn’t totally match.
Make a Statement with a Pop of Color
This client of mine, I love them, but they are Green Bay Packers fans - I’m a Bears fan, but I still love them (no one is perfect!). But they are Green Bay Packers fans, so I picked this beautiful green sweater. To me, this is a little bit more pop, a little bit more color. But, again, you can pick a tie that coordinates all the colors in your outfit, something that’s more sophisticated. Pick something that shows a little bit of color but isn’t too jarring. But pick what piece in your outfit is a statement piece.
I’ll do more videos on this, and how to wear a jacket with a tie, and pick other things…so stay tuned! To my client, I hope you found that helpful!
