Versatile, stylish, and handcrafted in Italy—your guide to wearing knitted ties for every occasion.
If you're searching for an accessory that adds personality, texture, and Italian flair to your outfit, a silk knitted tie made in Italy is the answer. These elegant yet relaxed ties are a favorite among modern gentlemen who appreciate craftsmanship and style. At Serà Fine Silk, each knitted tie is made with 100% Italian silk and handcrafted in Como using vintage looms, ensuring unmatched quality and timeless appeal.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to wear a knitted tie, when to wear it, and how to style key colors from our collection—navy, light blue, yellow, orange, green, and sand—for both casual and elegant occasions.
What Makes a Silk Knitted Tie Special?
Unlike traditional silk ties, knitted ties—also known as knit ties—have a textured, unlined design that offers a more relaxed, breathable fit. With their squared or V-point tips, these ties bring a touch of Italian craftsmanship to modern styling.
At Serà Fine Silk, our Italian silk knitted ties are made from the finest silk in the world and finished with our signature paisley detail on the back, adding refinement in every detail. Whether you're heading to a business-casual event or a stylish summer wedding, a knit tie made in Italy adds effortless elegance.
How to Wear a Silk Knitted Tie by Color
A well-styled silk knitted tie made in Italy doesn't stand alone—it works best when coordinated with the right accessories. The texture and informal charm of knitted silk make it ideal for mixing with complementary elements. For a balanced, cohesive look, consider pairing your knitted tie with a silk pocket square—either in a matching tone or with a subtle contrast. Add button-on silk suspenders to bring structure and elegance to your outfit, especially when the jacket comes off. Even socks matter: opt for fine cotton or silk-blend socks that echo the tie’s color or mood, tying the whole look together with understated harmony. These refined touches transform your outfit from simply dressed to intentionally styled.
Here’s how to style six of our most popular colors—for the office, weekend outings, and everything in between.
🔵 Navy Knitted Tie – Effortlessly Refined
A navy silk knitted tie made in Italy is the kind of piece every man should own—timeless, textured, and endlessly adaptable. It’s a go-to for those days when you want to look sharp without appearing too formal.
For a classic business-ready look, pair your navy knit tie with a striped light blue shirt and a navy blazer. Add a cream or off-white silk pocket square with a subtle border to bring in dimension without clashing. This combination works perfectly in professional settings and formal occasions alike, offering just enough personality through the texture of the knitted silk.
If your style leans more casual or contemporary, navy knitted ties also pair beautifully with a grey flannel suit or a more relaxed blazer in earthy tones. They balance well with modern elements—think tailored separates, clean sneakers, or even a structured baseball cap. The tie holds the outfit together with quiet elegance, offering a nod to tradition while staying rooted in today’s style language.
Complete the look with silk suspenders in a tonal navy or deep brown and fine socks that echo the palette—charcoal, midnight blue, or even a deep forest green. These subtle details are what turn a simple outfit into a standout one.
🔹 Light Blue Knitted Tie – Fresh and Relaxed
A light blue silk knitted tie brings a breath of fresh air to tailored outfits. It’s clean, minimal, and easy to style—perfect for spring weddings, summer events, or any moment that calls for lightness without losing structure.
Pair it with a beige or light grey suit, and layer over a crisp white or pale blue shirt for a tonal look that feels calm and contemporary. This tie thrives in daylight—ideal for garden parties, terrace lunches, and outdoor ceremonies.
Light blue pairs beautifully with accessories in the same family: think a soft-toned silk pocket square with a micro-pattern, or navy suspenders with silk finishing. Add pale blue or neutral socks for a seamless, sun-ready finish.
🟡 Yellow Knitted Tie – Playful and Confident
A yellow knitted silk tie made in Italy adds personality without overwhelming the outfit. It’s bright, optimistic, and works especially well when you want to stand out in the right way.
- Try it with a navy blazer and off-white trousers for a sharp contrast, or pair it with a pale blue shirt and suede loafers for a softer, vintage-inspired feel. Yellow works beautifully in spring and summer but can also surprise in colder months when layered over heavier textures like flannel or tweed.
- Accessories matter here—match it with a bold pocket square that echoes the tone or balances it out, and don’t forget warm-toned socks (think ochre, tan, or even burgundy) for an unexpected twist that still feels intentional
🟠 Orange Knitted Tie – Bold with an Edge
The orange silk knitted tie is for those who like their style with a bit of attitude. It’s bold but wearable, offering energy and richness without losing sophistication.
Orange pairs well with earth tones—olive, brown, camel—or with crisp materials like a white shirt and denim shirt jacket. For a more elevated look, try it with a charcoal or brown checked blazer, grounding the warmth of the tie with darker tailoring.
It shines when paired with dark green or navy accessories, like silk suspenders or a pocket square with floral or geometric details. Add textured socks in rust or dark orange for a coordinated, tonal finish.
🟢 Green Knitted Tie – Understated Cool
A forest green knitted tie hits the sweet spot between subtle and striking. It’s deep, confident, and just off-center enough to feel interesting without being flashy.
This tie works beautifully with grey tailoring, from mid-grey blazers to charcoal flannel suits. For a casual take, layer it over an Oxford shirt and a houndstooth jacket, and you’re set for anything from meetings to evenings out.

Keep the accessories rich but quiet—brown leather suspenders, a cream or forest green pocket square, and dark olive or espresso socks help ground the whole palette with tonal precision.
🤍 Sand Knitted Tie – Soft and Elegant
A sand-colored silk knitted tie is effortlessly chic. Light, neutral, and sophisticated, it’s a natural choice for daytime weddings, spring/summer ceremonies, or any event where you want to feel put together with minimal effort.
Pair it with a light grey, beige, or cream suit and a powder blue shirt to create a balanced and refined look. The tone-on-tone effect is subtle but impactful, especially in the sun or in outdoor settings.
This is also a perfect choice for the groom who wants something refined, modern, and effortlessly elegant—offering a fresh alternative to classic formalwear without losing the sense of occasion.
Style it with a beige or ivory silk pocket square and suspenders in a soft gold or camel tone. Complete the outfit with light-colored socks in ivory or dusty blue for a flawless, seasonal finish.
