This one item can be a window into your overall style persona and their personality as a whole. As you choose a custom necktie there are some important factors to consider. The first consideration to make when you are choosing a custom necktie is where you will be wearing the custom necktie to. Formal occasions will mean that you need to have classic custom necktie options. Choosing the best tie for your custom tailored suit really depends on the formality of the occasion you are headed to. For business and work functions, opting for a light colored tie with a small and intricate pattern will make you look stylish without crossing into too formal. For more formal occasions such as a wedding or a black tie event, go for a tie in the same color group as your suit for a sleek and elegant look.

Belts
The next must have accessory when it comes to building your custom wardrobe is to select several belt options that will coordinate with your other custom pieces. For men, you must choose a black belt and a brown belt that will work with your office attire, and also a brown belt and a black belt that will coordinate with casual outfits as well. For women, the options are limitless. Your professional wardrobe needs a black belt, a brown belt, and an animal print belt. Your casual wardrobe needs those same options in a less formal fabric, and it also needs several metallic belt options. Metallic belts were a hot item this season and will continue to make their mark on the fashion industry for seasons to come.
Socks
Socks are the final accessory option that needs to be chosen for your custom wardrobe. The pattern of your sock will show as you sit in your custom trouser, which means socks are another way to express yourself with fashion. Of course you need dress socks in the typical black and brown pattern, but you can also go a little outside the box with the patterns that you choose for your socks. They won’t stand out too much, they are socks after all, but they will spruce up your overall look and add a great touch of color to your outfit. Don’t go with colorful accessories though. If you have a brilliantly colored tie and pocket square, you should really dial it down with the color of your socks and vice versa. Remember that accessories are like the icing on the cake when it comes to building a custom wardrobe. Custom accessories will be what set you apart from others. Choose socks, belts, and neckties that will enhance your custom wardrobe and express who you are. Then, flaunt your style with confidence.
A POCKET SQUARE
Pocket squares might seem a little too much for just another day at the office, but it really does add such a simple elegance to any suit. Instead of going for the normal boring white, silver, or black, choose a bright, vibrantly designed pocket square to make your suit more fun and casual. The color system of your chosen pocket square should always balance out with your tie, not match it. Don’t be afraid to play around with bold and interesting patterns, bright colors and colorful designs that catch the eye, especially if your tie is less intriguing or if you’re not wearing one at all. If bright colors aren’t your thing, just refold your pocket square into a different shape and keep it neutral in terms of color but eye-catching in terms of style.

There are many great options for statement footwear that you can use to incorporate color and extra style to your regular suits so don’t hesitate to try something new if you like it. Shoes never have to be simple or boring.
