What Tie Should Groomsmen Wear? How Do You Pick?

If you're a groomsman worried about picking out your tie, good news: you probably don't have to. Groomsman ties often aren't a decision left up to the groomsmen themselves, just like the groomsmen's suit style and level of formality. As a member of the wedding party, your outfit is largely going to be determined by the couple, likely with the intention of creating a collective aesthetic that incorporates the wedding's colors.

In terms of what a good groomsman tie looks like (maybe you're a groom doing some research ahead of having your party order their outfits), the color, tie style, or pattern isn't nearly as important as the tie's accessibility. Whether you want solid ties, stripes, floral prints, or bow ties, purchasing groomsmen ties should be a breeze. This refers not only to price but to availability (ties that are on steep markdown may sell out before your party can order theirs, for example).

Where to Buy Groomsmen Ties and Accessories

From reliable basics to customizable options to brands that specialize in matching accessories, there are a ton of great places to buy your groomsmen ties these days. Here are some of our favorites that blend practical pricing with a variety of options and general accessibility. Your groomsmen will be looking their best with some help from these retailers.

The Tie Bar

Why you'll love them: The Tie Bar is my pick for the best bang for your groomsmen's buck. They offer a wide array of tie colors, fabrics, styles, and patterns at can't-beat prices (in most cases your party won't have to drop more than about $25 per tie).

Our top picks: The brand has reliable options in solid colors, but don't be afraid to check out some of their more adventurous collections. Their recent collaboration with stylist Warren Alfie Baker yielded some great pieces and they just launched a killer collection of ties from archival Italian fabrics.

Birdy Grey

Why you'll love them: Birdy Grey is best known for their bridesmaid offerings, but their groomsmen collection functions as a complementary service of sorts. They offer lovely coordinated accessories for groomsmen (most of their ties have matching pocket squares and socks available for purchase) but the real draw here is that most of the collection can easily pair with selections from their bridesmaids section. It makes them the perfect place to go for wedding parties looking for full coordination, not just in the individual groups.

Our top picks: I'd recommend going to Birdy Grey for a full look. For example, pair their Sage tie with its corresponding pocket square and polka-dot socks.

Cufflinks

Why you'll love them: Don't let the domain name fool you–while Cufflinks specializes in their namesake, they have a great selection of ties, too. I dig their lineup thanks to a few savvy brand collaborations. If you're looking to have your groomsmen rep your favorite sports team or superhero, this is the place to go.

Our top picks: This Millenium Falcon tie will ensure your groomsmen are one with the Force. Their Superman tie is also a cool one–the light-blue tie features a collage of comic book panels, but in a print so light you can only see them up close.

Knotty Tie

What to expect: Sometimes matching groomsmen ties need a more personal touch. Personalized accessories are a specialty at Knotty Tie, who offer custom ties for your groomsmen in just about every form you could ask for. Custom colors? They have them. Photo prints? In a cinch. Monograms? Just say the word. Send your groomsmen home with truly unique pieces they'll keep in their wardrobes for years to come.

Our top picks: It perhaps goes without saying but Knotty Tie's coolest offering is their customization lab, though if you're going with one of their designs I'm inclined to recommend the Mountain Sunset necktie.

J. Crew

What to expect: J. Crew's tie offerings match the vibe of the rest of their line. They can bring a neo-preppy flair to a groomsmen suit with bold rugby stripes, quirky patterns, or silk knits. The price is going to be a little higher but the quality is worth every penny.

Our top picks: It's a bold choice but I have to call out this tie that blends thick multicolored stripes with a quirky printed pattern. If you're aiming to keep it a bit more subdued, you can't go wrong with a bold striped tie.

Otaa

What to expect: Otaa offers ties in just about every variation imaginable, from colors to widths to fabrics. There are over 900 different neckties currently available in their store priced in the $40-60 range, making variety the biggest draw.

Our top picks: Otaa has some real range with their designs but I'd point out their quirky animal print series as a highlight. With solid navy backgrounds throughout the line, you could easily have each groomsman pick their favorite animal for a fun personal touch to their groomsmen suits.

Grooms Club

What to expect: Grooms Club keeps it simple. They offer 25 different solid tie colors in skinny and modern widths, all made from a microfiber material and all coming in at $20. For groomsmen suits that are aiming to be budget-conscious and keep the color scheme simple, this is the place to go.

Our top picks: Picking a favorite select from Grooms Club comes down to color preference, so I'm going with their beautiful lavender swatch. That said, their royal blue offering is also a great one.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ties for Groomsmen

Should all the groomsmen ties match?

In most cases, groomsmen ties are going to match. There are occasional exceptions but they're just that: exceptions. For example, when I was best man at a friend's wedding the groomsmen had different colored ties that corresponded with accessories worn by different bridesmaids. However, in most cases, the groomsmen are going to wear ties that match one another's

Should groomsmen ties match the groom?

It's generally more common for groomsmen to wear ties that match each other's than ones that match with the groom. However, this call is up to the groom.

Do groomsmen ties have to match bridesmaids?

Not always. What you're generally going to find is that there's a shared color scheme between the wedding parties but not necessarily direct matching accessories.

Do groomsmen need to buy their ties from the same place?

If the goal is to coordinate then yes, groomsmen will usually buy their ties from the same retailer. This is why groomsmen ties need to be accessibly priced and readily available.

Who pays for groomsmen ties?

If you're a groomsman, you're going to be paying for a few things out of pocket. Add your tie to that list–groomsmen are usually the ones to pay for their ties. Now and then you'll see grooms include their groomsmen's ties as a part of their gift, though.
