A better, and much easier choice would have been this same blue tie, just without the print on it, or a shirt with a large but understated grid print. You get a tie or bow tie. Not to bring up overloading visual touchpoints again, but adding too much stuff detracts from the overall look and makes it hard to figure out which accessory is your statement piece.
I, the writer, dare you to find neckwear classier than a solid black bow tie. This kind of bow tie is both understated and also the most bold statement you could make when dressed appropriately. We typically see the solid black bow tie accompanying a tuxedo, of any color, on formal occasions. Can you wear a solid black bow tie with a regular suit? All leathers and buttons should be black or very close to it. For example, we know red, white and blue to represent the United States sorry, France.
We know purple and gold to represent the Los Angeles Lakers. While a green paisley tie and red gingham shirt are perfectly fine individually, together they look like a Christmas card. Sometimes, this is good. On holidays, at sporting events, in politics, color association may be the key factor to winning over a crowd.
We know that successful shirt and tie combinations have contrast. The busyness of the gingham print is balanced out by the lack-thereof of a solid tie. Following this rule, options start to present themselves. These two ties both work well for this blue gingham shirt. Wear the dark purple tie with darker suits, like charcoal or navy blue.
Patterned tie — can be as crazy as you want. Think of a white shirt as a metaphorical blank canvas. For blue shirts, choose red or burgundy.
Gingham and plaid shirts are a safe way to bring some personal style to your office uniform, and this is where tie pairing gets more fun. Tweed, wool flannel, seersucker, or knitted ties add visual depth to your outfit. With a patterned shirt, your tie needs to hold its own in the outfit, and adding texture is an easy and attractive way to do that. Heftier fabrics like wool look especially elegant with plaid in the colder months for a fancy lumberjack vibe, and lighter fabrics like seersucker look light and fresh with gingham in the summer.
An easy way to choose a tie color is to look for a base tone in the shirt and match it with that. So if your shirt is red and blue plaid with some cream and brown base lines, go with a solid brown tie.
The no. So if your shirt has thin vertical pin stripes, find a tie with bulky diagonal stripes. Both yellow and red are contrasting hues, so ties in shades of burgundy, pink or mustard also look great set against this shirt color. Green is a similar color to blue — so try a dark forest green tie to make a refined and effortless statement. Men wear pink. If that statement sounds alien to you, we suggest you get on board pronto or risk missing out on an extremely versatile piece of workwear.
Similar colors include mauve and purple. Green is complementary, and therefore khaki shades are a bold choice that will make you stand out for all the right reasons in the office.
Blue, on the other hand, is a contrasting color and we would argue that there is no better shirt and tie pairing than a pink shirt with a predominantly navy tie, whether solid or patterned.
No longer just for mobsters and stagehands, black shirts have returned from the sartorial hinterland in recent years. This explains why the only color tie that can realistically be paired with a black shirt is a tonal one. For an easier, but less formal option, ditch the tie altogether and wear it buttoned to the top under a black suit jacket. Introducing a pattern is where things become interesting. The easiest way to avoid this is to wear a tie in a block color.
Just as the tie should be darker than the shirt, the pattern should be larger or smaller than that on the shirt. For instance, a thin pencil stripe shirt is the perfect anchor for a larger club stripe tie.
Another great tip is to vary the orientation of the stripes combined. For instance, a vertical striped shirt pairs best with a horizontal or diagonal striped tie as it offers a clear contrast between each piece.
For a move of higher sartorial difficulty, progress onto polka dots, paisley, and geometric designs. All are fair game providing the basic principles are adhered to. It might seem logical that combining a check shirt with a patterned tie would follow a similar set of rules to those of the striped shirt.
While a striped shirt can work with a bigger or smaller pattern, a check shirt always requires a tie with a larger pattern to avoid it becoming lost. The only exception to this rule is a windowpane check shirt, which offers greater flexibility due to the scale being so large and the pattern so subtle. Gingham check shirts are the most traditional and dress code-friendly available.
More often than not, this pattern features a white base with an overlaying color. When picking a similar, contrasting, or complementary shade tie, look to coordinate it with the check color rather than the white base. For example, a navy tie looks great with a sky blue or pink gingham check shirt. If opting for a larger tartan or plaid shirt, the key is to pick out one of the more subtle base tones in the shirt with a solid, block-color tie.
Just remember to keep the shade darker than the shirt itself. Striped ties are a perfectly acceptable choice to combine with check shirts. Choose a tie with a large, bold stripe so that it can easily stand out against the pattern of the shirt. Polka dots and paisleys can also work well providing the same principle is followed.
In recent years, a growing number of companies have adopted business-casual or even smart-casual dress codes, making room for a new set of power players in the workwear roster. While many other pairings rely on creating contrast, tactile shirts require equally tactile ties. The usual guidelines around color remain in place but steer clear of silk ties or anything else with a sheen.
Pairing a non-traditional dress shirt with a traditional tie only creates a disjointed look. Knitted or woolen ties should be the go-to choice here, the classic combination being a button-down chambray shirt with either a navy knitted or grey wool tie; both perfect for a more relaxed job interview.
In the case of linen shirts, the advice is often to swerve ties altogether. The lightweight fabric of the shirt with the heavier weight of the tie usually results in an unbalanced look. So in place of something knotted at the neck, give the air-tie a go.
