6 Ties & Pocket Squares Picks That Feel Luxury for Less
There's something almost magical about a beautifully knotted tie or a crisp pocket square peeking out from a blazer pocket. These small accessories carry an outsized amount of style power, and the good news is you don't need to spend a fortune to look like a million bucks. At Lumiro London, we believe smart styling and quality craftsmanship should be accessible to everyone. Here are six ties and pocket square picks that deliver a luxury feel without the luxury price tag.
1. The Classic Silk-Finish Tie
A rich, silk-textured tie in navy or deep burgundy is the ultimate wardrobe workhorse. It transitions effortlessly from boardroom meetings to weekend weddings, and the subtle sheen instantly elevates any suit. Look for a tie with a tight weave and good weight — it should hang with a confident drape, not flop limply.
2. Textured Wool-Blend Ties for Cooler Months
When autumn and winter roll around, swap your silky finishes for something with more texture. Wool-blend ties add warmth (literally and visually) to tweed jackets and heavier fabrics. They photograph beautifully and give off an effortlessly polished, old-money charm that never feels try-hard.
3. Patterned Pocket Squares That Do the Talking
If your tie is solid, let your pocket square bring the personality. A paisley or micro-print square in a complementary (not matching) colour instantly signals that you know what you're doing style-wise. The unspoken rule is simple: coordinate, don't match. A perfectly matched tie-and-square combo can look dated, while a thoughtfully contrasted pairing feels current and confident.
4. The Statement Colour Tie
Every man needs one bold tie in his rotation — think mustard, deep emerald, or a rich burnt orange. These shades work wonders for standing out at events, adding warmth to your complexion, and breaking up an otherwise all-neutral outfit. Pair it with a simple white or light blue shirt and let the colour do the heavy lifting.
- Stick to one statement piece at a time — either the tie or the pocket square, rarely both.
- Match your tie width to your lapel width for a balanced silhouette.
- Invest in a proper fold (presidential, one-point, or puff) rather than letting the square sit flat.
- Iron ties gently on a low setting or steam them to keep that crisp, luxury look.
5. Knitted Ties for a Relaxed Luxury Look
Knitted ties have made a serious comeback, and for good reason. Their squared-off ends and slightly textured finish give off a relaxed, smart-casual vibe that's perfect for creative offices, dinner dates, or weekend layering with a blazer and jeans. They're proof that luxury doesn't always mean formal — sometimes it just means well-made.
6. The Neutral Everyday Pocket Square
Not every pocket square needs to shout. A simple white linen or cotton square, folded into a clean one-point, adds a timeless finishing touch to almost any jacket. It's the accessory equivalent of a good pair of white trainers — quietly essential and endlessly versatile.
