Accessorizing Your Bespoke Shirt: Ties, Cufflinks, and More

When you’ve finally invested in a well-fitted bespoke shirt, don’t stop there. Accessories are what turn “just dressed” into “well-dressed.”

Whether you're suiting up for a wedding, business meeting, or date night — the right accessories can elevate your style and show personality without shouting.

Here’s your ultimate guide to accessorizing bespoke shirts — featuring timeless must-haves like ties, cufflinks, pocket squares, and more.

👔 1. Ties – The Classic Power Move

A good tie does two things: adds contrast & communicates confidence.

• Silk ties are perfect for formal occasions

• Knitted ties add texture for semi-formal looks

• Skinny ties give a modern edge, especially for slim-fit shirts

Style Tip: Match the tie width to your shirt collar and jacket lapel. Wide collar? Go for a wide tie. Simple.

Best tie combos with white shirts? Navy blue, burgundy, or deep green — timeless Chennai wedding vibes.

💎 2. Cufflinks – Small But Elite

Bespoke shirts often come with French cuffs — the perfect canvas for cufflinks.

Types of cufflinks to try:

• Classic Metal (Silver/Gold) – Wedding-ready elegance

• Knot cufflinks – More playful and casual

• Engraved initials or logos – Personalized and premium

✅ SEO Tip: Add this to your site’s service page: “We also assist in customizing cufflink styles to match your bespoke shirts in Chennai.”

🎩 3. Pocket Squares – The Game Changer

You’re wearing a blazer? Don’t forget the pocket square.

• Avoid exactly matching your tie — instead, complement it

• Use linen or cotton for daytime, silk for evening looks

• Fold styles: Presidential (clean), Puff (soft), or Casual (effortless)

📍 Local Vibe: In Chennai, pocket squares are a hit at upscale events like receptions and cocktail parties.

🔗 4. Tie Bars & Collar Pins – Subtle Flex

• Tie Bars keep your tie in place and add polish

• Collar Pins lift your tie knot and add vintage flair

Avoid over-accessorizing — use only one metal accessory per outfit (match your watch or belt buckle).

🕶️ 5. Bonus Accessories to Elevate Your Fit

• Watches: Dress watches for formal shirts, leather-strapped for casuals

• Belts: Match belt leather with your shoes — trust us, it’s noticed

• Lapel pins: Great for weddings or events

• Bracelets: Minimal leather or beaded — clean, not loud

📍 Chennai Style Guide: What Works Best?

In Chennai’s heat + cultural mix, these combos work like a charm:

• Light cotton shirts + bold cufflinks

• Linen shirts + open collar + leather strap watch

• Bandhgala + metal brooch + pocket square
