Although it may sound like a simple sartorial task, trying to create the best shirt and tie combinations can often end in disaster. To ensure you never get it wrong, we’ve put together this definitive Savile Row guide.
The Best Shirt and Tie Combinations with a Plain Shirt
Timeless and versatile, a simple yet sophisticated dress shirt offers the perfect blank canvas for almost any luxury silk tie – especially those boasting pattern. Whether you choose a white shirt, light blue shirt, or pink shirt, we suggest teaming yours with silk ties in contrasting colors that are decorated with polka dots, stripes or a playful print.
The Best Shirt and Tie Combinations with a Striped Shirt
When it comes to choosing a tie to pair with a striped shirt, opt for two designs that complement each other rather than clash. Perhaps the easiest way of doing this is to stick with a tie in a block color. However, for those wanting to be a little more adventurous, try to make sure that the pattern on your tie is larger – or at least bolder – than the stripes on your shirt. As for stripes on stripes, they can work perfectly well as long as they aren’t the same size.
The Best Shirt and Tie Combinations with a Check Shirt
Whilst striped dress shirts offer some leeway when it comes to teaming them with patterned ties, a check shirt should always be seen with a larger pattern (or block color) to avoid it becoming lost. For maximum effect, look to coordinate your tie with the check color of your shirt – rather than the white base the majority of designs will have.
