Are Paisley Ties In Style? Here’s How To Wear Them For Any Occasion

Paisley’s swirling, teardrop-shaped design has roots dating back centuries, originating in Persia before gaining popularity in Europe. Today, paisley ties strike the perfect balance between classic and modern, offering an intricate pattern that pairs well with both traditional and contemporary menswear.

So, are paisley ties in style? Absolutely. The key is choosing the right width and pairing it correctly with your outfit.

Paisley ties are a perfect choice for weddings, especially when coordinating with formalwear. The Clara Paisley Tie is a go-to for grooms and groomsmen, featuring a tone-on-tone, medium-scale paisley pattern that adds texture without overpowering the look. Available in classic wedding colors like black and navy or softer shades like pastel blue, pale pink, and soft yellow, it’s easy to match with bridal party attire.

For a bolder wedding look, the Poet Paisley Silk Tie offers a striking large-scale paisley pattern, available in an eye-catching turquoise, plum violet or crimson red. This option works well for statement-making grooms or stylish wedding guests who want to add personality to their ensemble.

Paisley ties can be an excellent addition to work outfits, provided they are styled with balance. The Darlene Paisley Tie, with its small, intricate paisley pattern, is subtle enough for a corporate setting while still offering a bit of flair. Pair it with a solid dress shirt and a structured suit for a polished, professional look.

For business settings that allow a little more creativity, the Sergeant Paisley Silk Tie offers a striking large-scale paisley pattern, available in deep crimson, blue velvet, and an eye-catching purple/lime combination. This option can add visual interest without straying too far from traditional office wear.

Paisley ties aren’t just for formal occasions—they can also work in more relaxed settings. For a casual yet refined look, consider a slightly more narrow paisley tie, such as our 3 inch sergeant paisley ties, which add depth and texture while feeling modern. A wool-blend paisley tie is another great option for cold-weather casual wear. Alternatively, a paisley bow tie, like the Darlene Paisley self-tie option, can add personality to a textured dress shirt and lightweight sweater for a stylish weekend outfit. These paisley options in unique fabrics and sizes bring a fresh take on a classic pattern, perfect for more laid-back occasions.

Since paisley is a detailed pattern, it’s best to pair it with solid colors or subtle textures to avoid clashing. Here are a few tips:

With a solid suit: Choose a paisley tie in a complementary or contrasting color. A navy suit pairs well with a red or tan paisley tie, while a gray suit works with pastels or classic black.

With a patterned shirt: If your shirt has a pattern (like stripes or checks), opt for a smaller paisley pattern like the Darlene Paisley Tie to keep the look balanced.

With accessories: If a matching pocket square isn't available, paisley ties pair well with solid-colored pocket squares or subtle textured fabrics to keep the focus on the tie itself.

Paisley ties have remained in style for decades, adapting to shifts in tie widths and fashion trends. Whether you’re dressing up for a wedding, heading to the office, or simply adding flair to a casual outfit, a well-chosen paisley tie can elevate your look effortlessly.
