Can You Wear a Tie with a Blazer?

By all means, a tie looks great with a blazer. With just one blazer, you can control your level of formality by choosing either a casual or a dressy tie. A casual knit tie with a blazer is a stylish look for relaxed occasions. A business or dressy tie paired with a blazer is ideal for professional and semi-formal occasions. 

Choose a tie that complements the blazer's style, fabric, and pattern. For example, silk ties look great with structured blazers while linen, cotton, knit or skinny ties look better with casual or unstructured blazers.

You'll achieve a polished and cohesive look if you match your tie and blazer color palettes. Navy blue blazer — blue tie. Tan blazer — brown tie. You get the picture! Unless you're after a very bold look, be careful with contrasting colors. A maroon blazer with a green tie may be too much of a contrast. If you're unsure about color palettes, stick with colors in the same family. If you want a bit more contrast, choose a patterned tie that has the same colors in your blazer.

While paying attention to your color palette matters, adding a pocket square, tie bar, or lapel pin can enhance your outfit's sophistication. No matter how you style your blazer and tie, you'll create a winning look for networking events, business meetings, weddings, and even upscale dining.
