Coordinate polka dot ties with the rest of your ensemble and you could be off to the races. Possibly literally! Polka dot ties are a common sight at slightly more relaxed social events. But that’s not the only place you will find these wardrobe staples. In fact, as long as you pay attention to some basic rules of outfit composition, you can wear a polka dot tie at all but the most formal of events. Red polka dot ties are a particularly popular choice as they combine that power colour with a slightly more friendly pattern. If in doubt, choose a shirt of a solid colour to go with your polka dot tie. You can wear patterns too, of course - all you need to do is make sure the pattern on your tie is a big contrast to the pattern on your shirt or the rest of your suit.
