Italian accessories to elevate your wedding style
A deep dive into Tessitura Bottinelli and the silk they produce.
You can have a great suit, the perfect shirt and a solid pair of shoes, but the finishing touches can make all the difference. You want to go with something that complements your suit without overpowering it, makes sense for the event and season, and ultimately, elevates your look.
What better way to add something special to your outfit than a silk tie or pocket square, designed and printed in Italy’s Como region? Read on to find out why a Tessitura Bottinelli tie is set to be your go-to summer wedding accessory.
What makes Bottinelli ties so special?
Tessitura Bottinelli has been making ties for almost a century in Como, a region renowned for its silk craftsmanship and long history of tie-making. The Tessitura Bottinelli mill stands out as one of the best, thanks to their approach to tie-making that combines textile traditions with cutting-edge printing technology. They’ve applied that expertise to our collection of Italian ties.
Made with Fuji silk that has a super soft handfeel but still holds its shape, these ties will hold a knot for the whole day and dimple perfectly. The paisley designs give a nod to that traditional tie-making, but modern colours and bit of texture make them feel right for now. With a Bottinelli silk tie from Moss, you’ll get that elusive balance of versatility and impact, and nothing about your outfit will look like an afterthought.
What should I wear with my Italian tie?
It only makes sense to pair your Italian tie with an Italian suit, but at the end of the day, as long as your suit fits well and the colours work with the tie you’ve chosen, you’ll look your best. For a summer wedding, look to linen or cotton suits for a lightweight and breathable option that'll keep you cool all day long.
What other accessories will work with my Italian tie?
When it comes to the rest of your finishing touches, start with your pocket square. Each of our Bottinelli silk ties has a matching pocket square, so that’s an easy (and smart) choice to make – but mixing the patterns in the same shade, by wearing a paisley tie with a medallion print pocket square or vice versa, will lift the look to the next level. Then, keep everything else simple and let the prints shine with a versatile pair of brogues and classic cufflinks. And don’t forget your socks – they’re a great opportunity to pull a colour from your other accessories and tie everything together.
