Blue & Navy Bow Ties and Neckties

Blue is the most wearable colour in menswear and the hardest to get wrong. Royal blue lifts a grey suit; navy quietly finishes almost everything else.

Royal blue versus navy

Royal blue is a statement colour: use it when the suit is plain. Navy is a neutral in practice — it can carry a bigger pattern without overwhelming the outfit.

Pairing with grey and tan

Grey suits take royal blue best. Tan and khaki suits are flattered by a mid or teal blue rather than a dark navy, which can look heavy in daylight.

Frequently asked questions

Does a navy tie work with a navy suit?
Yes, if the textures differ — a textured or patterned navy tie stops the look from going flat.
What shirt suits royal blue?
White for maximum contrast, or a very light grey for a softer look.
