Create the perfect look for any formal occasion. When black tie is optional, a silver tie lets you stay formal while also adding a little classy variety to your appearance. Combine silver with a black or dark grey suit and white shirt to stay very formal. Or relax a little with silver ties featuring textures or patterns - these are great options for both formal and semi-formal events. Striped silver ties, for example, are popular in professional settings, but don’t overlook that they also work well elsewhere. Do be sure not to match metallic silver ties with anything too bright, such as yellows or orange shirts. But with that one pairing to avoid, a silver tie is an excellent addition to anyone’s wardrobe, giving you a way to look formal but not too formal anytime you need to.
