Tie and socks

Kelly, on August 21, 2022 at 9:02 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6
Hello! My two guys (fiancé and best man) are in navy suits. The groom will have an ivory, faint floral tie, but all ivory, to complement my dress. His pocket square will be the same although I keep reading they should not match?
What color socks?
And for the best man (our only bridal party on the groom’s side, so we want to look uniform) is a solid ivory tie ok? I don’t want him in floral. Then what color pocket square (ivory?). I feel lame matching it all. And what sock color?
My MOH is in a blue dress darker but lighter than navy.Originally we were going to have the best man in a navy tie. I also have a blue tie that matches my sister’s dress exactly and pocket square but the blue on top of the navy suit was just kind of blah.Ideas?

    Navy or black socks so they don’t stand out

    Unless the suit pants are cropped where the socks will show, they can really do anything with their socks (this is why a lot of grooms/ groomsmen choose to wear fun socks for pictures later on). If they want to wear regular, solid socks, I'd say to go with navy so they match the suits.

    For the best man's tie and pocket square, I'd say to go with the blue tie/ pocket square combo that will match your MOH's dress. That'll give your groom "his own" look with the ivory tie/ pocket square combo.

    If they’re wearing black shoes, the socks should be black as well. If they’re brown, match the sock color to the pants, so navy.

    I agree with this. The guys wore fun wedding socks, nobody saw them. My husband had an ivory tie/pocket square to match my dress. The best man had a slate tie/pocket square to match the maid of honor.
