Suit accessories in Hong Kong from Manhattan Tailors are the finishing pieces — silk ties, pocket squares and cufflinks — chosen alongside your bespoke suit and shirt so that colour, texture and proportion work together. Since 1996 our family-run house in Tsim Sha Tsui has helped clients complete an outfit, not just buy an add-on, with guidance given at the same fitting as the suit itself.
A suit sets the frame. The tie, the fold of a pocket square and the glint of a cufflink are where personality shows. Get them right and a navy two-piece reads as deliberate and assured; get them wrong and even fine cloth looks unfinished. That is why we treat accessories as part of the tailoring conversation rather than an afterthought at the till.
Why Accessories Belong in the Fitting Room
Most men buy a tie or a pocket square in isolation, then discover at home that the shade clashes with the shirt or the pattern fights the suiting. When you choose suit accessories Hong Kong clients trust at Manhattan Tailors, you do it with the actual fabric swatches in front of you. We can hold a tie against your chosen cloth from our fabric library, check it against the shirt collar you have selected, and judge how it will look under daylight and evening light.
The result is a coherent wardrobe. Every piece earns its place, and each new suit arrives with the accessories that make it ready to wear on day one.
Silk Ties: The Offer and How to Choose
Our most popular accessory is the silk tie, and it is also our simplest decision to make: 5 silk ties for HK$200. It is an easy way to build a rotation for the working week, to coordinate a wedding party, or to refresh the suits you already own. See the full range on our silk ties Hong Kong page.
Colour
Start with the suit. Navy suiting welcomes burgundy, forest green, gold and most blues. Charcoal pairs well with silver, deep purple and muted red. Lighter grey and tan open the door to softer tones such as dusty rose, sage and lighter blue. The tie should always be darker than the shirt, which keeps the look anchored.
Pattern
Solid ties are the most versatile. Stripes, dots and small geometrics add interest, but mix patterns at different scales: a fine-striped shirt sits best with a larger-scale tie pattern, never one of the same size. If your suit carries a pinstripe or check, a solid or subtly textured tie keeps the outfit calm.
Width
Tie width should echo lapel width. A slimmer lapel calls for a slimmer tie; a broader peak lapel needs a tie with more presence. We look at the lapel you have designed on your jacket and recommend a width that keeps the proportions in balance.
Pocket Squares
A pocket square is the quickest way to show taste without saying a word. A crisp white square in a straight fold is correct for almost every business and formal setting. A patterned silk square with a puff fold suits weddings, dinners and social events. The rule of thumb is to complement the tie, not match it: pick up a secondary colour from the tie or shirt rather than using identical fabric, which can look too contrived.
- Straight (TV) fold: sharp and minimal, ideal for boardrooms and black tie.
- One-point or two-point fold: a touch more character while staying formal.
- Puff fold: relaxed and expressive, best with silk and patterned squares.
Cufflinks and Shirt Details
A cufflink only works with the right shirt. A French (double) cuff or a convertible cuff is required, so it pays to plan this when you order your shirts. You can compare styles on our cuffs page before your appointment. For business, an understated pair in a single finish is the safe choice; for weddings and evening events there is more room for colour and detail. Formalwear such as a tuxedo shirt is designed around formal studs and links, so we coordinate them together.
For a more personal touch, many clients add a discreet monogram on the shirt cuff or chest. It is one of the most understated forms of bespoke accessories: quiet, personal and entirely yours.
Dressing for the Occasion
Business
Keep the palette controlled. A navy or charcoal suit, white or pale blue shirt, a solid or finely patterned silk tie and a white pocket square projects authority without distraction. Rotating five ties across the week keeps the same core suits looking fresh.
Weddings and Groomsmen
Coordinated ties, with a matching pocket square for each man, are the simplest way to unify a wedding party while letting the groom stand apart. A common approach is one shared tie colour for the groomsmen with a distinct tie or pocket square for the groom. Our tie offer makes outfitting a whole party straightforward.
Evening and Black Tie
Black tie calls for a bow tie, a white pocket square and formal studs. For cocktail events you can relax the rules with richer colours and silk textures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much are silk ties at Manhattan Tailors?
We offer 5 silk ties for HK$200, which makes it easy to build a weekly rotation or outfit a whole wedding party. Visit our Tsim Sha Tsui store to choose colours and patterns against your suit fabric, or message us on WhatsApp at +852 9773 2691 to ask about the current selection.
How do I match a tie and pocket square to my suit?
Start with the suit colour, keep the tie darker than the shirt, and choose a pocket square that complements rather than copies the tie. Pick up a secondary colour from the tie or shirt instead. Our tailors can hold options against your actual fabric swatches during your fitting so you can see the combination before you decide.
Do I need a special shirt to wear cufflinks?
Yes. Cufflinks need a French (double) cuff or a convertible cuff that accepts both buttons and links. If you plan to wear cufflinks, tell us when you order your bespoke shirts so we can make the right cuff. You can review the cuff styles on our cuffs page before your appointment.
Can you coordinate ties for groomsmen?
Yes. A popular approach is a shared tie colour for the groomsmen and a distinct tie or pocket square for the groom so he stands apart. Our 5 silk ties for HK$200 offer makes outfitting a wedding party simple. Bring your wedding colour palette and we will suggest combinations that work with the suits.
Can I order accessories if I live outside Hong Kong?
