Brown grenadine tie - safe choice for business wear

Grenadine ties are among my personal favorites. And as some people say, grenadine ties are the most versatile type of ties. In my opinion the grenadine’s texture gives it visual and aesthetic interest which is then balanced by subdued coloring. And therefore I personally prefer plain and simple colors such as brown, blue or forest green for example. Altogether the features of the fabric and subdued coloring make it easy to wear with almost anything.

So in terms of material plain colored grenadine silk is a safe choice. And in terms of color brown is as well one the easiest options to play with. First of all you can pair it with a range of colors from blue and gray to different shades of brown. But you can also combine it with orange or even pink for example. And when it comes to textures, you can combine the grenadine silk with different materials from fine wools to more heavier flannels or even with lightweight linen. Here you can see it with lightweight and plain ligh gray wool suit, crispy white button-up shirt and a brown woolen pocket square.

Brown garza grossa grenadine silk tie. Did you know that garza grossa was the type of silk most of Sean Connery’s Bond ties were made from?

The tie I am wearing here is made of the so-called garza grossa grenadine. As you may know, the grenadine silk is available in two different grades. First of all there is the garza fina silk which is more delicate weave. And then there is the garza grossa which the more substantial fabrication.

To put it shortly, garza grossa is a looser and bigger weave. On ties made of silk with this weave the silk slightly moves over time. Garza fina looks a bit finer, and the weave is a bit tighter. Both of these will give you the texture you need in a simple tie, but garza grossa’s texture is in general more apparent from a distance. Garza grossa also makes for a slightly fuller tie knot. On the other hand garza fina is softer and the texture more subtle. Both of the materials are great but in my opinion the garza fina grenadine is more versatile.

And as a sum-up, if you want an easy way to pull off your brown grenadine tie, try this:

  • Light gray suit
  • White spread collar shirt
  • Wool pocket square with patterned design
  • Brown calf leather oxford shoes

As said and ss you can see, with a simple grenadine tie you can create a discreet layer of texture into a formal outfit like the gray suit and white shirt.
