Rise and Shine in a Yellow Tie
It's bright. It symbolizes positivity. But damn, is a yellow tie tricky to wear. Reaching for a yellow tie is certainly a bold choice. Pulling it off helps you stand out at a wedding, become more recognizable at your office, and draw people in at conferences or networking events. But the wrong tie or pairing can make you look like a traffic light.
You deserve better than that. That's why we're here to help you make looking polished in a yellow tie effortless. Look great, feel great and leave a sunny impression with tips that will help you pick the right tie and find the perfect pairings.
The Key to Picking the Perfect Yellow Tie: Understated Designs
Getting the right shade of yellow for a tie can mean the difference between eye-catching and eyesore. You need to consider a few elements when choosing a yellow tie. And it starts with choosing the right shade.
Pick a shade that complements your skin tone. Lighter yellows work well with darker skin tones, while rich yellows create a striking look on a lighter skin tone.
The key to wearing a yellow tie is understated designs. Choose tones that complement your outfit, not outshine it. Picture how a pale yellow radiates freshness and openness, making it a killer choice for summer and spring events. Gold or mustard yellow shows sophistication and warmth that's perfect for colder months or a day in the office.
Ultimately, you want to choose a yellow tie that complements your outfit and elevates your style. A yellow tie will be eye-catching, but you want to consider your whole outfit. The yellow tie should enhance your overall look without overpowering it, adding a cheerful yet elegant touch to your attire.
Shine in a Yellow Tie with the Ideal Suit and Dress Shirt
Yellow is a bold colour, so you'll want to tone it down with your outfit's other elements. Aim for effortless elegance, not a gaudy mess with the shirt and suit you pair with a yellow tie.
Don't overthink your dress shirt. Reach for one that's crisp, white and fits you immaculately. To elevate your look, consider a cutaway collar. The sweeping collar points that cut up and away give you a contemporary look that provides your tie a little more room to shine.
Make looking polished in your yellow tie effortless with a navy blue suit. You might be tempted to go all out with bold suit colours, but pump the brakes. You risk looking so loud and ostentatious, that people only see your outfit, not you.
We suggest staying with tried and true suit colours like navy. But if you're feeling brave and want to experiment, by all means, go for it. Remember to stick with a tie with understated designs like the first pairing in the next section.
