A lightly colored, cotton tie gives off a sophisticated summer feel that is sure to make a good impression. This Bondi stripe tie from The Tie Bar adds a bit of color, a delicate pattern and some texture to a plain light gray suit. Matching this with some other blue-themed accoutrements will really make your outfit come together and pop. Starting with a tie that really shows off your understated sense of style is a great way to sneakily become best dressed (beside the wedding party) at any wedding. A note on wedding colors, do not feel a need to match the wedding colors. In fact, it's almost better to choose a color that is a fairly large departure as to not accidentally look like you are a part of the wedding party.
