How to Wear a Floral Tie: Occasions, Tips & Ideas

In recent years, floral ties have risen in popularity as a wedding staple but have slowly crept into the mainstream of men’s fashion.

Whether it’s a colorful statement piece or a casual accessory, a floral tie is an easy way to show you care about how you look.

In case you’re wondering how to wear a floral tie, we’re here to show you which floral ties are best for any occasion and highlight different options from The Tie Bar that can elevate your next outfit.

Why Choose a Floral Tie?

A tie is often the centerpiece of any outfit, and choosing a floral tie is the perfect way to add a bit of color and personality to an ensemble.

While a floral tie can be a bold style choice, there are also ways to use it as a subtle accessory. Our Fall Florals Rust Tie, for example, features muted leaves and buds on a warm-toned tie to create a unique but understated addition to a wardrobe.

The Tie Bar’s varied selection of floral ties undoubtedly have something for you and your outfit, no matter the occasion or color palette.

How to Match a Floral Tie

Matching a floral tie with the rest of your outfit may seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually simpler than you may think.

First, look for a lighter-colored solid dress shirt that works well with your tie. Wearing a cooler-toned tie like our Power Floral Olive Green or our Lakeshore Florals Navy ties? Go with a white or light blue dress shirt. Greens and blue are always a successful pairing.

If you want to match patterns like a striped or checked suit, make sure the secondary or tertiary color in the jacket and pants matches the same in the tie.

Styling Tips for Floral Ties

To style a floral tie, it might be best to simplify the rest of your outfit. A solid, light-colored tan or cream suit could pair well with our Peonia Blush Tie from our Kelly Ventura collaboration.

If you’re looking to accessorize even more, pairing a pocket square with the secondary or tertiary color in a floral tie is the best option to create a cohesive look.

For example, our Fall Florals Burgundy Tie would work perfect with our Lakeshore Wool Flannel Grey suit and an orange pocket square.

Occasions To Wear Floral Ties

Because there are so many different kinds of floral patterns and color combinations, it’s possible to find a floral tie to fit any occasion.

With a suit, a floral tie like our Falling Florals Navy Tie can be a formal staple for serious and celebratory events. At the same time, something like our Eden Floral Blush Pink Tie could also be perfect for a casual date night, or business casual party.

It’s all about how you style it and today, we’re here to show you how.

Can You Wear a Floral Tie to a Wedding?

Floral ties are often the most natural fit for a wedding. Surrounded by bouquets and flower arrangements, not only will the tie enhance your own personal style, it can tie you in with the rest of the ceremony and reception.

The ties can provide a touch of elegance and personality to any look, whether you’re pairing a lighter Marguerite Floral Sage Green Tie with a tan or warmer suit or a colder Ramble Floral Navy Tie with a darker look.

Considering the wedding’s season is also crucial. For an autumn wedding, look for red and orange tones like our Grazioso Floral Brown Tie. In the spring or summer, aim for a more playful palette, with Blush Pink, Ivory, or Mint.

Dressing to impress for a job interview can be one of the most important parts of the process. Wearing a floral tie can highlight your playfulness or sense of style — which may be essential, for some companies!

For the sake of wanting to preserve your sense of professionalism, perhaps going with a subtle, geometric floral like the First Look Floral Sage Green Tie or our Falling Florals Burgundy Tie.

Considering options like our Ritz Floral ties or our Hinterland Floral Black Tie can be a classy way to spruce up your funeral attire in an monochrome and appropriate way. But at the end of the day, the most important thing to consider when building your ensemble is respecting the family and the occasion.
