12 Ways to Wear Ties & Pocket Squares This Winter

Winter is the season when accessories truly get to shine. With heavier fabrics, richer colours, and layered outfits, ties and pocket squares become more than finishing touches—they're the details that elevate a look from ordinary to unforgettable. At Lumiro London, we believe the right combination can transform your winter wardrobe. Here are twelve ways to wear ties and pocket squares this season with confidence and style.

1. Embrace Deep, Moody Colours

Trade your summer pastels for burgundy, forest green, and navy. These rich tones pair beautifully with wool suits and winter coats, adding warmth and depth to your outfit.

2. Mix Textures, Not Just Colours

Winter is the perfect time to experiment with knitted ties, wool blends, or textured silk. Pairing a smooth pocket square with a textured tie creates visual interest without clashing.

3. Try the Classic Matching Set

For formal occasions, a tie and pocket square in the same fabric and colour creates a polished, cohesive look. It's timeless, elegant, and never goes out of style.

4. Contrast for a Modern Edge

If matching feels too safe, try contrasting your tie and pocket square. A navy tie with a burgundy square, for example, adds personality while staying sophisticated.

5. Master the Puff Fold

This casual, relaxed pocket square fold works wonderfully with tweed jackets and winter blazers. Simply pinch the centre and tuck it loosely into your pocket for an effortless finish.

6. Go Bold with Patterns

Paisley, houndstooth, and tartan patterns are winter staples. Use them sparingly—either on your tie or pocket square, not both—to avoid overwhelming your outfit.

7. Layer with Waistcoats

A waistcoat adds an extra layer of sophistication in colder months. Choose a tie that complements both your shirt and waistcoat for a seamless, layered silhouette.

8. Knit Ties for Casual Fridays

Knitted ties bring texture and warmth to smart-casual outfits. Pair them with a crisp shirt and no jacket for a relaxed yet put-together look.

9. Choose Wool Pocket Squares for Tweed

When wearing tweed or heavy wool jackets, swap silk for a wool or cashmere pocket square. It complements the fabric's texture and keeps the look seasonally appropriate.

10. Dark Florals for Evening Events

Floral ties don't have to be a spring exclusive. Dark, winter-toned florals in deep purples or blacks work beautifully for evening parties and festive gatherings.

11. The One-Point Fold for Subtle Sophistication

This understated fold is perfect for business meetings. It shows just a hint of fabric peeking from your pocket, adding polish without being flashy.

12. Coordinate with Your Coat

Don't forget your overcoat when planning your outfit. A tie or pocket square that echoes a colour in your coat ties your entire look together from head to toe.
