Colored Shirts & Ties to Match Navy Suits
Question:
I am going to a wedding in a few weeks and I was wondering what color shirt to wear with a dark navy suit? And also what type of tie to match with it? I have tried it with a plain blue shirt but it kind of makes the whole outfit look very plain and dull.
Answer:
Dark navy suits are the most basic color suits every men should have in their wardrobe. The color shirts to match are limitless. I would rather continue discussing about the plain blue shirt that you have already chosen, it should not go wrong with your navy suit. Preferably you should choose a blue shirt that is of medium blue rather than dark blue or light blue. Medium blue can be easily coordinated against most men's facial complexion as well as nicely matched against the navy suit.
Probably the best bet to brighten up your look would be the choice of nice colored tie. I would avoid going for plain colored ties. Try stripe or check or dotted ties. The tie just needs some basic blue or gray tone within it and the rest can be of more striking colors like red, pink, yellow, green. I have attached a few pics of suitable ties from Charles Tyrwhitt .
I would also suggest you to get a copy of my ebook, Dress for Success: Mens Fashion Coordination for Suits, Shirts, & Ties. It would really help you gear up simple knowledge on coordination with a lot of pictures and explanation for your better visualization. You can refer to it again and again for ideas on how to mix and match without looking out of date.
