Match Your Dress Shirt with Your Necktie

Coordinating a necktie with a dress shirt is quite an easy task for men who like sporting neckties often, if not everyday. However, there are still some who find this task quite tedious and often end up confused. Also, if you are not in the habit of wearing neckties on a daily basis, you might want to read this post because here you we will find exactly how to match your shirt with your necktie with utmost ease.

Plain Whites
Plain white dress shirts are perhaps the easiest to coordinating with. White goes well with any shade or pattern you can think of! Solids, stripes, dots, checks and paisleys, all patters will look good with a plain white shirt. Also, soft shades like pale green, tan, soft pink and beige or bright colors like red, navy blue and burgundy, all go really well with white. So, this is the easiest choice you can make.

Solid Colors
With your solid colored dress shirt, you have two options; you either opt for a necktie of the same color or else pick a color that either coordinates well or contrasts well with the color of your shirt. Contrasting or coordinating colors add a dash of vibrancy and edginess to your ensemble. About patterns, since your shirt is plain, you can pick any pattern in neckties to match your shirt.

Striped Shirts
Shirts with patterns can be slightly tricky. With a striped dress shirt you can select a necktie with diagonal stripes, dots, boxes and paisley patterns. However, keep in mind that if you match a striped shirt with a striped necktie, the size of the stripes should not be the same. The diagonal stripes on your necktie should be about double in size as compared to those on your dress shirt. For color, keep your striped shirt at a distance and see which color stands out according to you and simply match or coordinate the color of your necktie with that color.

Checkered Shirts
For your checkered shirts, decide on a color of your necktie the same way you would for a striped shirt. The patterns that go with checkered are diagonal stripes, dots or boxes. Again, make sure that the pattern on your necktie is larger in size as compared to the checks on your shirt.
