Paisley Ties, Pocket Squares & Bow Ties

Leverage this age-old symbol of royalty to add a little interest to an otherwise solid colour of suit. Pairing particularly well with a white shirt, paisley ties have made a big comeback since 2000. There are more designs featuring the classic paisley pattern on the market than ever before. If you’re not sure you can pull off a paisley tie at any given event, consider wearing a well-chosen waistcoat as this will conceal a large portion of your tie while leaving a splash of style to come through. You might also want to try a contrasting suit, probably of a relatively toned down colour. For instance, a red or blue paisley tie can complement a paler grey suit, particularly if the paisley pattern has some lighter threads in the design.
