A tie set takes the most time-consuming part of dressing formally, pairing accessories, and does it for you. Instead of hunting for a pocket square that goes with a tie, you get two pieces designed to work together from the start. This guide explains what a tie set includes, why so many men now buy ties this way, and how to choose one that suits your wardrobe.
What is a tie set?
It is a coordinated group of accessories sold together. The most common is the tie and pocket square set, where both pieces share a colour palette and pattern family. Some sets also add cufflinks or a tie pin. The point is harmony: every piece has been chosen to work with the others.
What comes in the box
| Set type | Includes | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Tie and pocket square set | Tie + matching pocket square | Everyday office wear, weddings, gifts |
| Tie, pocket square and cufflinks | Tie + square + cufflinks | Formal events, complete gifting |
| Tie and tie pin set | Tie + tie bar or clip | Business wear |
| Gift box tie set | Any of the above in presentation packaging | Birthdays, festivals, corporate gifting |
Every tie in the Tievera range is sold as a tie and pocket square set. If you want to complete the look, add a pair of cufflinks in a matching metal tone.
Why buy a set instead of separate pieces?
- It saves time. No more guessing whether two separately bought pieces will clash.
- It looks deliberate. A coordinated set signals attention to detail.
- It is better value. A set usually costs less than buying a good tie and a good pocket square separately.
- It makes an easy gift. One box, a complete look, and no size to get wrong.
How to choose a tie set
Start with your suits
Look at the suits and blazers you wear most. Navy and grey suits pair with almost every tie colour; black suits look best with rich, deep tones; brown and beige pair well with greens, rusts and golds.
Build a core of three
If you are starting from scratch, buy three sets: a navy, a burgundy or wine, and a textured neutral. The navy blue textured tie set is the most versatile piece in any wardrobe.
Add one festive set
For weddings and celebrations, a gold, maroon or jewel-tone set is essential. The maroon and gold pattern tie set is designed for exactly these occasions.
Then add personality
Paisleys, florals, checks and polka dots are where your personal style comes through. Choose patterns you genuinely like wearing.
How to wear one without looking too matched
The secret is in the fold. Wear the tie knotted as usual, and fold the pocket square so a different part of its pattern shows, or use a puff fold so the pattern is broken up. The two pieces then relate without mirroring each other. Our guide on how to match a tie and pocket square shows four folds step by step.
You can also mix and match across sets. The pocket square from a navy set can work beautifully with a burgundy tie from another set, giving you far more combinations than the number of sets you own.
