Matching Neckties to Your Classic Navy Blazer Jacket
Any man that cares even slightly about how he dresses must make a navy blazer a part of his rotation. It is a classic clothing piece that has dressed royalty and businessmen alike for almost a century. Because it is such a classic clothing stable it should be paired with a necktie – but not just any tie. Below are three tie styles that are the perfect compliment for the navy blazer. They are pieces that add contrast and color to the blazer while still preserving the sophisticated touch associated with this clothing piece.
Regimental & Repp-Stripe Ties
Without doubt, classic regimental ties are on top of the list when it comes to “The Best Ties for Navy Blazers”. Their old-school and traditional look is the perfect compliment to this classic jacket. Look for a regimental tie in contrasting colors to the navy jacket such as burgundy, amber, cherry-red, and soft blues. Add an oxford cloth dress shirt (solid white, light blue, or narrow striped are best), light colored trousers, and tasseled loafers and you have the perfect “country club/ old-money” look.
Pin Dot Neckties
Don’t quite like the somewhat conservative look that the British regimental tie brings? Then a finely textured pin-dot tie will be perfect. The pin-dot pattern is basically a very small polka dot that is so fine in texture that the tie appears solid in color from a few feet away. Again pick a pin-dot tie in contrasting colors such as cherry, burgundy, royal blues. Pair these ties with a window-pane check shirt, beige trousers, and brown brogue oxfords.
Solid Colored Wool Ties
Come late august/early september, it is time to start thinking about fall and winter accessories. One of such pieces is the coarsely woven wool necktie. It is a piece that looks exceptional with navy blazers (both single and double-breasted) in colors hunter green, camel, and maroon. Choose a wool tie that is not too narrow, as skinny ties typically do not compliment the classic cut of a blazer. Best widths are from 3 to 3.5 inches. Want to show a bit of pattern? Then subtle herringbone, chevron, or plaids are excellent choices.
