Back to Wedding Basics Blog #12: Men’s Neckwear

It’s safe to say that men probably have it easiest when it comes to wedding accessories, especially with neckwear, as there are only three main types.  Below we discuss each type, their uses and the ideal events to wear them.  Plus, our favorite affordable picks!

1. Bow Tie

The bow tie is considered the most formal piece of neckwear.  It can be seen at very formal weddings, along with evening weddings.  If you’re wearing a tuxedo, make sure to pair it with a bow tie.

2. Classic Tie

Also known as the “four-in-hand”, this tie has increased in popularity over the years.  While it can be used for formal weddings, it is more appropriate at semi-formal or casual events.

3. Ascot

The ascot is typically used during daytime or morning weddings.  It is a scarf-like tie that is fastened with a pin.
