The heat can throw a wrench into your stylish summer outfits. Yes, an open collar is acceptable at an outdoor summer wedding. But every other guy will have the same idea. Don't get lost in a sea of open collars. Sophisticated summer ties give you a chance to look better than the rest.

Nail your summer suit, then grab an exquisite tie to look cooler than your cocktail. Here are five summer ties that refine your style for business meetings, weddings, and upscale parties.

Solid Grenadine Ties with a Certain je ne sais quoi

Every modern gentleman should have a grenadine tie (or four) in their arsenal. Their one-of-a-kind texture adds an alluring element to any outfit. These solid grenadines offer an understated charm while adding a dash of colour to your summer outfits.

Sky Blue and White Grossa Grenadine

Sky blue silk woven through with white gives the Sky Blue and White Grossa Grenadine a fine mottled surface that settles into one clean colour from a few feet away. Grenadine is a leno weave, and the garza grossa version opens it up further, so the tie stays light against the neck through a warm afternoon. Pair it with a light blue summer suit for an outfit that moves easily from a garden party to drinks on a rooftop patio.

Purple Grenadine Tie

The Purple Grenadine Tie is a bold and regal choice that adds sophistication to your summer suits. Yes, it's bold. But ostentatious? Not at all. The understated tone means you can wear it with a suit to the office and then to drinks on the patio after work.

Splash on the Visual Appeal with Striped Summer Ties

Without a doubt, wearing patterns like stripes adds a striking visual element to your outfit. An understated stripe brings a sophisticated feature that makes looking polished effortless.

White Striped Metallic Gold Tie

Channel your inner Jay Gatsby and put on a White Striped Metallic Gold Silk Tie. Pair it with a cream suit, and the thin white stripes set in a field of rich gold will make you fit right in at extravagant parties in West Egg.

Elegant Patterns that Exude Sprezzatura

Face the world with quiet confidence, or sprezzatura, as the Italians call it, and you won't just look good; you'll look great. Glide into the room with confidence at all your summer events with these elegant patterned ties. We love animals. We just don't believe they belong on ties.

Red Floral Grenadine Tie

Playful patterns like the Red Floral Grenadine Tie bring fun and sophistication to your summer outfits. Use the bold red and powder blue petals to complement a light blue linen suit, and you'll be dressed to impress wherever your day takes you.

Black & White Glen Plaid Tie

Yes, a glen plaid tie belongs at a wedding. But don't box it in. Designs like Aklasu's Black & White Glen Plaid Tie make a great summer tie. Pair it with a light grey or light blue suit, and you'll catch others stealing glances.

Having a cold one by the grill and relaxing on the beach are essential to your summer. But don't overlook weddings, meetings, and upscale parties where you'll want be the most polished man in the room.

Cheers to you for looking polished and making it effortless!
