How to Match a Tie with a Navy Suit

A navy suit is one of the most useful pieces in a gentleman’s wardrobe because it works with a wide range of tie colours. For a dependable office look, pair it with burgundy, navy, or a restrained stripe. These combinations feel confident without demanding too much attention.

For weddings and evening events, try a richer paisley, a warm gold tone, or a deep purple accent. Light blue creates a fresher daytime look, especially with a white shirt. Keep the shirt and tie contrast clear, and avoid combining too many competing patterns.

Finish the look with a pocket square that shares one colour with the tie but uses a different pattern or fold. The Navy Crest™ Gentleman Collection makes the classic navy-on-navy approach easy, while the Golden Crest™ Gentleman Collection adds a warmer contrast.
