How to Accessorize Your Tux: Bow Ties, Pocket Squares, Shoes & More

A tuxedo isn’t complete without the right accessories. The smallest details can transform your look from “good” to “exceptional.” At Moments Tux Shop, we help you style every detail so you leave feeling confident and polished.

1. Bow Ties vs. Neck Ties

The bow tie is classic for black-tie events, weddings, and prom. Neckties work well for semi-formal or themed events.

Tips:

• Black or satin for traditional formal events

• Bold colors or patterns for personality

• Coordinate with your date’s outfit for a cohesive look

2. Pocket Squares

Pocket squares add a pop of color and texture. They can match your tie or provide a complementary accent.

Tips:

• Silk or satin for a luxury feel

• Folded neatly for formal events

• Choose complementary colors to avoid clashing

3. Shoes & Belts

Shoes and belts matter as much as your jacket.

Tips:

• Patent leather shoes are perfect for tuxedos

• Black is classic, but brown or oxblood can work for modern looks

• Belts should match shoe color and style

4. Cufflinks & Watches

Small metallic accents elevate your outfit:

• Cufflinks add sophistication and personalization

• Watches can complement style without overpowering

• Choose subtle finishes for formal events

5. Vests & Cummerbunds

Vests and cummerbunds define your waistline and create a polished silhouette. They also offer options to coordinate with the wedding or event theme.
