What Tie to Wear With a Navy Suit
The Most Versatile Suit Combination
A navy suit is one of the most dependable pieces in a gentleman’s wardrobe. The right tie can shift it from business meeting to wedding, evening event or smart social occasion.
Harvie & Hudson’s navy suits, silk ties and handkerchiefs offer endless combinations for refined British dressing.
Best Tie Colours for Navy Suits
Burgundy
Classic, confident and ideal for business or formal occasions.
Sky Blue
Fresh and elegant, especially with a white or pale blue shirt.
Green
Refined and distinctive without feeling too bold.
Gold
Warm and traditional, particularly suited to weddings and events.
Choosing the Right Shirt
A white shirt creates the sharpest contrast with navy tailoring. A blue shirt feels softer, while a pink shirt adds warmth and personality.
Handkerchiefs and Final Details
A handkerchief should complement the tie rather than match it exactly. Choose colours that echo the shirt, tie or suit for a balanced finish.
