Great Ways To Match Suit Patterns

By Victor Santerino

Many men are adept at realizing that they should wear a shirt and a tie when they wear their suit. However, these same men are not adept at successfully matching these articles together.

I wrote this article to help people understand the various nuances of pattern coordination. Read the following paragraphs and you will be on your way to a fantastic personal style.

The suit can be paired using combinations of the same patterns, combinations of different patterns, and the combination of various patterns working together. The next few paragraphs will provide tips on how to achieve these looks.

The same patterns can be matched together with all parts of the suit. However, this should always be done with patterns of differing sizes. For instance you could wear a pinstripe shirt with narrow stripe separation and a tie with broad sized stripes.

The use of different patterns can be a great way to liven things up. You can achieve this by using different patterns of the same size. Wearing a tie with small check patterns will match well with a shirt with small pinstripes.

An additional way to pair two different shapes together is to use analogous colors. Wearing a tie with yellow check patterns and a shirt with yellow pinstripes would be a good example of this.

Incorporating all styles in harmony will really show off your own personal style and flow. For example you could wear a black suit with white pinstripes in combination with a black tie with white circles and a white shirt with large pinstripes.

Reading this article should have given you all the knowledge you need to successfully coordinate your suit with your shirt and tie. If your unclear about a certain area read the article again and again until it becomes clear. - 16492
