Striped Wedding Ties: Timeless, Tailored, and Full of Personality

There’s something confident about a stripe. Whether wide or narrow, bold or subtle, striped ties bring a tailored feel to your wedding day attire. They're especially useful if you’re mixing solids and patterns—pairing a striped tie with a solid suit and shirt is a classic move. But stripes also layer well with other stripes (think pinstripe suits) when kept in the same color family or scale.

For couples planning a coordinated but not overly matchy look, striped ties also offer visual interest without feeling too busy. Grooms can wear one version of a striped tie (say, a slightly bolder colorway or a different style), while the groomsmen, ring bearer or even the fathers of the bride/groom wear a simplified version or coordinating solid tie. It’s an easy way to differentiate the groom without stepping too far from the palette.

Coordinating solid and striped ties across family members keeps the look unified but not identical.

Stripes might sound simple, but they come in more styles than you’d expect—and each brings a slightly different mood to your wedding day.

Some couples opt for classic two-color stripes, especially when the wedding colors tie back to something personal, like school colors or a shared favorite sports team. Black and white stripes are always timeless, while softer pairings like dusty blue with petal pink or eggplant with burnt orange feel especially fitting for spring and fall weddings.

Some striped styles lean more formal, particularly those designed for evening or upscale celebrations. Elite striped ties fall into this category, with elegant tone-on-tone stripes in timeless neutrals like black, white, navy, silver, and red. These ties are a sophisticated choice for formal weddings and black-tie events, offering a polished look that never goes out of style.

Formal striped ties, on the other hand, aren’t strictly reserved for black-tie attire—despite the name. These styles feature alternating finishes (a subtle mix of satin and matte ribbing) for added texture, but the color palette is more wedding-focused than ultra-formal. Expect tones like burgundy, sage, or burnt orange, as well as softer combos like blush and gray or dusty pink and navy. They strike a beautiful balance between refined and relaxed, making them perfect for a wide range of wedding styles.

Then there are striped wedding ties with a bit more character. Some feature multiple colors or even patterns within the stripes, like a floral overlay or varied textures. These options bring a more casual or creative feel to your wedding attire—ideal for daytime ceremonies or outdoor receptions.

If you’re mixing striped and solid ties across the wedding party, look for collections that coordinate in fabric and color tone. Having the groom wear a stripe while the groomsmen stick to solids (or vice versa) is a subtle way to differentiate the looks while keeping everything cohesive in photos. (TieMart’s two-color striped ties are designed to match their solid premium ties, making it easy to mix styles while staying perfectly color-coordinated.)

From the groom and groomsmen to ring bearers and junior attendants, striped ties can be a stylish option for everyone in your group. Many collections include matching bow ties, pocket squares, and boys' ties, which makes it easy to carry your color theme throughout.

Don’t forget about bow ties! Striped ties come in more styles than just neckties, making it easy to coordinate looks across your entire wedding party.

Stripes are flexible. They can feel classic, modern, or playful depending on the colors and width you choose. And no matter the season or setting, they offer a bit of polish that helps everyone look pulled together—without stealing the spotlight from the rest of your big day.

Whether you go with neckties or bow ties, patterned stripes like these in thistle purple show how versatile—and wedding-ready—striped ties can be.

TieMart carries a wide range of budget-friendly men’s wedding accessories—from ties and pocket squares to socks and more—in both solid colors and patterns. With coordinating options for the groom, groomsmen, ring bearers, and even dads, it’s easy to outfit the entire wedding party. Not sure about the color?
