Silk ties in Hong Kong at Manhattan Tailors come with a simple offer: 5 silk ties for HK$200, chosen with a tailor’s eye so each one works with the suits and shirts you actually own. It is an easy way to build a weekly rotation, coordinate a wedding party or bring new life to a trusted navy suit.
A tie is often the first thing people notice. It draws the eye to your face, signals how seriously you take the occasion and says a great deal about your taste. The right one makes a plain suit look considered; the wrong one makes an expensive suit look careless. Our job is to help you choose well.
The Silk Tie Offer
Our silk tie offer is five ties for HK$200. You can select them on their own or alongside a suit or shirt commission, which is where the offer is most useful: we can hold each tie against your chosen cloth from our fabric library and your shirt collar before you decide. Many clients use the offer to cover a full working week with five distinct looks from two or three suits.
Choosing Ties for Suits
Good ties for suits follow a few dependable principles. Once you know them, getting dressed becomes quicker and more confident.
Match Colour to the Suit
- Navy suits: burgundy, forest green, gold, orange and most shades of blue.
- Charcoal suits: silver, deep purple, muted red and dark green.
- Mid and light grey: blues, pinks and burgundy all work well.
- Tan and beige: olive, brown, rust and soft blue.
As a rule, the tie should be darker than the shirt. This keeps the eye moving upward and anchors the outfit.
Balance Pattern with the Shirt
Solid ties go with everything. Stripes, dots, paisleys and small geometrics add character, but vary the scale: a finely striped shirt pairs best with a larger tie pattern, and a bold check shirt calls for a solid or quietly textured tie. Avoid two patterns of the same size side by side, which makes the eye flicker. Our guide to suit patterns is useful for combining a patterned suit with a patterned tie.
Get the Width Right
Tie width should follow lapel width. Slim lapels need a slimmer tie; broad peak lapels need a tie with more presence. When we cut a bespoke suit, we recommend a tie width that suits the lapel you have designed, so the proportions look intentional.
Consider the Collar
A wide spread or cutaway collar suits a fuller knot. A narrower point collar suits a slimmer knot. You can review the options on our collars page.
Wedding Ties and Groomsmen
Wedding ties are one of the easiest ways to bring a wedding party together. Five ties for HK$200 makes it practical to outfit several groomsmen in a coordinated colour. Popular approaches include:
- One shared tie colour for all groomsmen, with a different tie or pocket square for the groom.
- Tie colours drawn from the wedding palette, such as the flowers or the bridesmaids’ dresses.
- Textured or patterned silk for the groom to stand apart while staying in harmony with the party.
If you are still planning the look, our wedding suit colours guide will help you settle the palette, and our tailors can then make the suits to match.
Tie Knots Worth Knowing
Four-in-Hand
Slightly asymmetric and easy to tie, the four-in-hand is the everyday knot. It suits point collars and narrower spreads, and it looks effortless rather than studied.
Half Windsor
Neater and more symmetrical, the half Windsor works with most collars and most occasions, from the office to a wedding.
Full Windsor
Wide and triangular, the full Windsor fills a spread or cutaway collar. It is formal and makes a strong statement, so keep it for occasions that call for one.
Whichever knot you choose, finish with a small dimple just below it, and let the tip of the tie reach the top of your belt or trouser waistband.
Caring for Your Silk Ties
A good silk tie lasts for years with a little care. Untie the knot fully at the end of the day rather than sliding it loose, which stretches the silk. Hang ties or roll them loosely in a drawer so creases can relax overnight, and rotate them so no single tie is worn every day. Avoid ironing silk directly; if a crease persists, steam it gently from a distance. For stains, go to a specialist cleaner rather than scrubbing at home, which can dull the sheen.

What colour tie goes with a navy suit?
Navy is the most versatile suit colour. Burgundy, forest green, gold, orange and most shades of blue all work well. Keep the tie darker than the shirt so the outfit stays anchored. For business, a solid or finely patterned tie in burgundy or blue is a dependable choice, while brighter tones suit social events.
How wide should my tie be?
Tie width should roughly follow the width of your jacket lapel. A slim lapel calls for a slimmer tie, while a broad peak lapel needs a tie with more presence. If we are making your suit, our tailors will recommend a width that balances the lapel you have designed so the proportions look intentional.
Can I buy matching ties for my groomsmen?
Yes. The 5 silk ties for HK$200 offer makes it practical to outfit a wedding party in a coordinated colour. A popular approach is a shared tie colour for the groomsmen with a distinct tie or pocket square for the groom. Bring your wedding colour palette and we will suggest combinations that suit the suits.
Which tie knot should I use?
The four-in-hand is the easy everyday knot and suits point collars. The half Windsor is neater and works with most collars and occasions. The full Windsor is wide and formal, best with spread or cutaway collars. Finish with a small dimple and let the tip reach the top of your waistband.
