Stylish tips for wearing the Laura Ashley x The Tie Bar Collection

Here are a few styling tips to help you make the most of this versatile collection.

The highly anticipated Laura Ashley x The Tie Bar collection has arrived, bringing a fresh twist to classic designs. This collaboration offers a stunning range of accessories featuring Laura Ashley’s iconic prints through a modern lens. Perfect for both men and women, these pieces can elevate any outfit with their timeless elegance. Here are styling tips to help you make the most of this versatile collection.

Add a pop of color.

One of the standout features of the Laura Ashley x The Tie Bar collection is the vibrant and intricate patterns. These designs can instantly uplift any outfit, adding a splash of color and sophistication.

For Men:

Pair a bold pocket square with a classic navy or grey suit to create a striking contrast. The key is to let the pocket square be the focal point, so keep the rest of your accessories minimal. For instance, if you choose the Pelham Geo Grey Pocket Square, allow its rich hues to shine by opting for a white dress shirt and a floral tie.

For Women:

Women can use these pocket squares in a variety of creative ways. Tie one around the handle of your handbag, wrap it around your wrist as a chic bracelet, or even style it as a headband. The Humble Daisy Sage Green Pocket Square can brighten up a neutral-toned outfit, making it perfect for a sunny day out or a casual lunch.

Mix patterns with confidence.

Mixing patterns can seem daunting, but when done right, it adds depth and interest to your look. The Laura Ashley x The Tie Bar collection provides an excellent opportunity to experiment with pattern mixing, thanks to the cohesive yet diverse range of designs.

For Men:

When mixing patterns, consider the scale of the prints. If your suit has a subtle pinstripe or a small check pattern, you can pair it with a larger, more detailed tie like Sweet Memories Floral Blue Tie. This creates a balanced look that isn’t too overwhelming. Remember, the key is to stay within a complementary color palette to ensure harmony.

For Women:

Women can also mix textures by pairing a floppy bow tie with patterned clothing. For example, the Velvet Olive Relaxed Bow Tie can be paired with a floral dress. The combination of florals with velvet texture creates a visually appealing contrast that’s perfect for a fashion-forward look.
