If you have a solid solid-coloured shirt (particularly white or sky blue) and a classic suit colour such as navy, then you are free to experiment with bolder colours and patterns with your tie, and you can provide strong contrast should you wish. Often a wedding is when all gentlemen like to look their Sunday best.

Today, madder silk is still produced in small quantities by artisans and textile enthusiasts, who value its rich colour and cultural significance. While the natural madder root produced primarily red dyes, the modern dyeing process for madder can produce a wide array of rich, saturated hues. Most of these colours are on the darker end of the spectrum; for example colours like mustard, forest green, burnt orange, deep blue and violet, and of course, gold, navy and burgundy. Compared to other fabrics, this blend pairs particularly well with all suit fabrics. You can either wear a wool and mohair fabric or a heavier fabric like Tweed or Herringbone. It is therefore very versatile, and a strong addition to a collection.

The classic understated look is the flat fold as seen below on the right. This is the most formal look and works for any situation or event you may be attending. Our advice would be that this simple square can be elevated with just a touch of colour. In the playlist below we've released our first three folding videos, The Crown Fold, The Puff Fold and The One Point Fold. Alternatively a square that is predominately white with either a coloured edging or light pattern provides a relatively conservative look that will work in all business environments.
