Match Your Tie to Your Event and Outfit

Variety of ties available to coordinate with formalwear and event themes in Richland, Washington.

You need a tie that matches your formalwear and the event you are attending in Richland, Burbank, Pasco or a surrounding area. A tie that does not coordinate with your suit or tuxedo can make the entire outfit look mismatched, especially in group photos or formal settings where consistency matters. Dawson-Richard Tux Shop offers a selection of ties in different colors, patterns, and styles to match weddings, proms, business events, and other formal occasions.


The selection process involves matching the tie color to your vest, cummerbund, or event theme, and choosing between standard neckties and bow ties depending on the formality of the occasion. Staff help you select ties that coordinate with the rest of your outfit and the other members of your group if you are part of a wedding party or coordinated event. Ties are included with most tuxedo and suit rentals, or they can be purchased separately if you already have your own formalwear.

How Ties Are Matched to Formalwear and Events

When you come into the store in Richland, staff show you tie options that coordinate with your tuxedo or suit color, the vest or cummerbund you selected, and the formality of your event. Bow ties are typically worn with tuxedos for black-tie events, while standard neckties work for suits and less formal occasions. You also choose between solid colors, patterns, and textures depending on your preferences and event theme.


After selecting the right tie, your outfit will look coordinated from the collar down. The tie color will complement the vest or cummerbund without clashing, and the tie length will end at the correct place on your waistband. For group events, everyone will wear matching ties that create a uniform appearance in photos and during the ceremony or event.


Ties are selected during your fitting or measurement appointment, and they are included in the rental package or sold separately if you prefer to keep them. This process works well for individuals and groups who need consistent color matching across multiple outfits. If you are part of a wedding party, staff track tie selections for each person to ensure everyone receives the same style and color.

What people ask about tie selection

People renting or purchasing formalwear often have questions about tie styles, matching, and how to coordinate with group members.

What is the difference between a necktie and a bow tie?
A necktie is a standard tie that hangs down the front of your shirt, while a bow tie ties horizontally at your collar. Bow ties are more formal and typically worn with tuxedos, while neckties work for suits and less formal events.
How do I match my tie to my vest or cummerbund?
Your tie should either match or complement the color of your vest or cummerbund. Staff at Dawson-Richard Tux Shop in Richland will show you coordinating options during your fitting to make sure everything looks intentional.
Can I purchase a tie separately if I already own a suit?
Yes, you can purchase ties separately. Bring your suit or bring a photo of your vest or shirt color to the store for matching if needed.
How do I coordinate ties for a wedding party?
One person selects the tie color and style, and the rest of the group matches that selection during their individual fittings. Dawson-Richard Tux Shop tracks each order to ensure consistency across the group.
What tie length should I choose?
Standard neckties should end at the top of your waistband or belt line when tied correctly. Staff will help you select the right length based on your height and build during your fitting.
