Add some zest to your summer wedding with a colorful necktie. A bold and brightly colored tie in summer fabrics like cotton, madras and linen can give your menswear a sunny pop of color without straying too far from the classic look.

Checkered patterns are the name of the game. Available at mosaicmenswear.com for $65.

Add some vintage-inspired striped goodness to your ensemble with the Macartney-Stripe Linen-Cotton Tie, available at J.Crew for $59.

You can never have too much yellow gingham. But this particular tie-maker has gingham ties in pretty much every color (in case you prefer to go all out in mauve or periwinkle). Available at Etsy.com for $59.50.

This Indian Madras Plaid Patterned Necktie will bring all the people you find attractive to the yard. Available at J.Press for $79.50.
