Winter Shirt-and-Tie Combination — How To Do It: 2
This is a perfect example of how you can use patterns in both the tie as well as the shirt. This particular combination is a fantastic outfit for some dark jeans or even just some dark blue pants – for they work well together and the stripes play off of one another.
One rule that you need to remember about ties is that they should always – always be darker than the shirt, that way they do not stand out as much … or if the shirt is white, it stands out that much more.
Remember – one color that goes with pretty much anything grey – and also its distance cousin of black. Grey is something that you can use in a casual outfit all the way to an outfit that is dressy.
