Checked Ties, Pocket Squares & Bow Ties

Select a checkered tie as an exciting addition to any casual or business casual look. Check ties come in a wide variety of types. Individual styles like tartan, plaid, tweed, Prince of Wales check, and others are all popular in certain settings and to varying degrees. There’s one key tip that will help you pull off checks on your tie - always pair it with either a shirt or suit that’s a solid colour. You can have two elements that feature patterns - even different ones, don’t be afraid to experiment - but having all three patterned is too much. Choose a muted check tie with few contrasting stripes for business casual and try checks in grey or other fairly neutral colours for a stylish pairing with a pin-stripe suit. With checks, the possibilities are almost endless.
