Introduction • While we’ve touched on patterns in your suit before, we want to take a deeper look at the do’s-and-don’ts of pattern pairing, and how you can use clashing patterns to make your suit look that much more stylish. Here are a few points to keep in mind:
Do you have carryover between patterns? • Let’s use a simple example: You have a solid colored shirt, but a striped tie. How do you ensure these will go together?
Do you have carryover between patterns? • Well, a simple way is to ensure that the smaller stripe on the tie matches the color of your shirt, that way the rest of the stripes act as a “pop” of color, while the matching color in the tie pairs them both together.
Do you have carryover between patterns? • However, we can go a little further with this example: • You could also have a tie with complimentary stripes to the shirt. • For example, if your shirt is blue, a great choice may be to have a pink/white striped tie, as they each pop off each other well.
What if the shirt is patterned? • You have many options from here, but let’s start simple: If you have patterned shirt and can’t tell if you could get away with another pattern, then you should make sure to have a solid-colored tie. • It’s the simplest way to avoid accidentally mis-matching patterns.
What if the shirt is patterned? • Alternatively, if you have a subtle shirt pattern a tie with a bolder pattern will play off each other nicely. The key is balance. • If one aspect is bold and brash, the other can’t be as well, or you’ll wind up looking like a clown.
Striped vs. checkered? • So, let’s get this out of the way: Very rarely will it be okay to combine a striped and checkered piece of your outfit. • Oftentimes the contrasting lines wind up looking like a mess, and coordinating an outfit with those two requires some great dress skills which take some time to acquire.
Striped vs. checkered? • If you’re leaning on a type of pattern to try out, go with checkered. • A checkered pattern can pair easily with solids to give your outfit some texture without the interesting effects stripes can sometimes have on your body.
