Choosing the Right Necktie for a Suit

Matching a necktie to a suit is similar as the previous predicament. Take note of two details; the color and the pattern of the suit. Your necktie and socks are accessories to the entire ensemble same so it has to blend.

There is no problem if the suit is unitary color, a colored, printed or unitary color necktie will match. If the suit is designed with pale thin stripes, follow rules that apply to unitary colored suits. But if the suit has distinctive stripes, do not wear a striped necktie. Any color and pattern will do as long as the necktie will be distinguishable.

It is Just a Matter of Combination and Coordination

If you observe, the entire discussion is all about combination and coordination.

Coordination pertains to blending while combination is to merging.

In dressing up, it is a matter of not overdoing the colors and designs. A suit that is checked, made of small broken-check textile pattern or striped would be best paired with a unitary colored top and a necktie with design. While for a unitary colored suit, you can use a patterned top with either a necktie with design, as long as designs vary, or unitary colored. It is just that easy!
