What kind of tie with a striped shirt

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.

Get it? Clear contrasts are pleasing to the eye and show intentionality. When it comes to pattern combinations, you can get more wild with striped shirts than you can with checks. Checks are already very visually stimulating, but stripes are more neutral. The combination can be really striking.

It must be said that, generally, there are no absolute rules in the fashion world; in some cases it is actually the exceptions that set the trend.

A good rule of thumb is to create the right combination by looking at the dominant colour: whether this is on the suit or the jacket, both of them must echo the main colour-shade of the striped shirt.
