A black grenadine tie is a sophisticated choice for formal and business occasions. Grenadine silk is the most luxurious fabric you could hope for in a formal setting, yet it still carries an air of nonchalance.

Black garza grossa grenadine tie is definitely the tie to own at least for the funerals. But you can make so much more with it, if you just give it a chance. The fabric of this DLA grenadine tie gradually deepens to black in a way that's interesting but not overwhelming. This tie you can wear in the boardroom and into the evening. 

The Story

There are two kinds of grenadines - garza grossa and garza fina. For the black tie we chose the garza grossa fabric as it has more substantial fabrication and looser, bigger weave than the garza fina grenadine. The garza grossa grenadine also makes for a slightly fuller tie knot which brings up the restrained and subdued texture of the black colored fabric.

Grenadine makes it all better. Not only is the grenadine more versatile for other occasions but it’s more elegant as the texture provides a nice contrast to the suit. The light, crisp weave of our silk grenadine fabrics makes the tie perfect for daily wear.

How to wear a black grenadine tie:

With the DLA garza grossa grenadine tie you can introduce a subtle layer of texture into a formal outfit like a dark blue suit, white shirt and black calf leather oxford shoes. 

But for business wear the black grenadine tie works particularly well with brown suits. This is due the fact that black shoes work well with dark tones of brown as well. The brown suit with black garza fina grenadine tie is also a combination the legendary Sean Connery favoured in the movie Goldfinger.
