The Finishing Touch: Tie, Pocket Square & Accessories
By GENTS Stylist

True elegance lies in the details. An excellent suit, a well-fitting shirt — that is the foundation. But what truly brings your suit to life are the accessories you wear with and around it. A carefully chosen tie, a matching belt and a subtle pocket square transform your look from 'neat' to 'refined'.
At GENTS, we believe that accessories are not merely functional, but also express your personal style. Whether you're dressing for a formal dinner, a business meeting or a festive occasion, these accessories give your outfit that definitive refinement.
Black Tie: The Bow Tie
For black tie and tuxedos, the bow tie is the only correct choice. A bow tie in piqué remains the most refined — choosing between self-tie and pre-tied is entirely a matter of preference and convenience. The self-tie requires some practice, but exudes that true formal expertise. Less experienced or want to enjoy your evening without worry? Then the pre-tied variant is your perfect companion.
The Tie for Everyday and Formal Wear
A tie forms the heart of your formal wardrobe. The classic off-white tie is an elegant alternative to grey or navy — subtle, versatile and particularly suited to those seeking a softer complexion. Pair it with a white shirt and a suit in sand, coral or green, and you have an instantly harmonious look. For those who prefer to combine all possibilities in one purchase, the set of tie, cufflinks and pocket square in white offers a complete solution.
The Belt: Strength and Style Combined
Your belt is more than practical — it is the link between your suit and shoes, and partly determines your silhouette. A reversible belt in black and brown gives you maximum flexibility: wear black with your charcoal or black tie, brown with your warm suit colours. For those who enjoy adding texture, the suede variants in beige and navy are excellent choices. The woven elastic belts in blue-white and beige-white bring an airy, friendly note, while the leather variants in blue or tan offer classic support.
The Secret Weapon: Color in Your Look
The bold can use their belt as a pop of color. A dark blue suede belt under your beige suit, or a woven belt in beige-white under your navy blazer — these subtle contrasts give your outfit a refined, intentional appearance. It shows you've truly considered your look, without being ostentatious.
