Ties

Discover men’s ties at Peter Jackson, from restrained textures to stripes, paisleys and more expressive patterns. A considered tie gives a suit direction, connecting the colours of the shirt and tailoring without needing to repeat them exactly.

Silk ties with depth and character

The collection includes selected Bottinelli silk ties made in Como, Italy, alongside a range of patterns and finishes. A woven texture, smooth surface or larger motif changes the way colour appears. Check each tie’s composition, width and origin details when choosing the right proportion for your shirt collar and jacket lapels.

Coordinate the shirt, tie and pocket square

Start with a business shirt or formal shirt, then choose a tie that stands apart clearly enough to remain defined. A pocket square can echo one colour without copying the same pattern. A suitably proportioned tie bar adds a functional finishing detail when you want the tie held closer to the shirt.

Ties FAQs

How do I choose a tie for a patterned shirt?

Vary the scale of the patterns or choose a plain, textured tie. A small shirt check and a much larger tie motif are easier to distinguish than two similar grids. Assess the combination alongside the suit.

How long should a tie be when worn?

As a general styling guide, the tip should sit around the top of the trouser waistband. Adjust the knot and blade lengths for your height and trouser rise, keeping the tie balanced with the jacket.

How do I choose tie width for a tailored jacket?

Compare the tie with the jacket lapels, shirt collar and your own proportions. The aim is a balanced relationship rather than a universal measurement for every outfit. Try the knot and jacket together; a tie that looks suitable on its own may feel too substantial or too slight once worn.

What is the difference between a silk tie and a wool tie in an outfit?

They can create different surface and seasonal impressions, although weave and construction also matter. A textured wool tie and a smoother silk tie should be assessed against the shirt and suit cloth. Choose the actual combination rather than assuming one fibre is automatically appropriate for every formal or casual setting.

Can I coordinate a tie and pocket square without buying an exact set?

Yes. Choose a shared colour or compatible relationship while varying the pattern or texture. Pocket squares can complement a tie without copying it. Keep the shirt and suit part of the decision, particularly when either already carries checks, stripes or a strong weave.

Should I choose a necktie or bow tie for black tie?

Traditional black tie conventionally calls for appropriate dinnerwear and a bow tie, subject to the hosts’ instructions. A dark necktie does not automatically create the same result. Use black-tie attire and formal shirts to build a coherent evening combination.
