What Tie To Wear With A Lavender Dress Shirt?
Has this been the situation for you that you are having your one of favourite lavender shirts
in your hand and wondering which tie is going to suit you perfectly? Well, Here at MensUSA
we are to recommend you what will make you an attractive personality in this event.
What comes your mind first:
Blue! In a single word. Obviously, it may be a good choice as lavender shirt. But wait, stay
with us for more cool options. With the single word suggestion, you could go with silvery
white tie too. But in fashion you don't end up with a single word solution. For your perfect
look there are many other options which will go attractive with your
lavender dress shirt and the coat your
choosing to wear with.
Coat will play a major role too:
In addition to above colors mentioned, there are other options too depending the type of
your coat. You could also consider green and navy. A black or charcoal colored tie would be
something to experiment this evening.
What is the shade of your lavender?
As per the tint of your shirt following are the quick suggestion you can go for.
Solid lavender: Prefer a tie which is one shade lighter or darker than your solid lavender
shirt and lavender suits has a different finishing or texture. Let us have an example: if your shirt is silky and
in matte finish, you should go for a tie with nubby type texture and it should have shiny
finish.
Mostly lavender: Prefer a tie which has purple background and its has patterns in
somewhat contrasting colors.
Shirt having a touch of lavender: Comparatively this is not a tough call. You could prefer a tie
which is navy or dark gray in color. Also bronze, teal or gold having some pattern of lavender
would do the job.
With a suit you go more conservative and go for plain or light stripes, with a light tie. Or go
for the Etro/Duchamp style with a dark suit with bold chalk-stripes and a loud tie.
I do not think the
mens collar shirts colour is as big of an issue, as you think. I have a similar shirt but with
slightly thicker maroon lines - normally worn with navy suit, navy tie (pattern but the navy
shades are very similar) with dark brown shoes.
If I had that shirt - grey suit, plain or pattern tie (not diagonal) with black or brown shoes depending on the tie. With a patterntie I would go for something like a Hermes tie.
I always look at the collar on a patterned shirt to see if the two sides match. I don't worry
too much about the side seams, though. Not usually very visible, and it's difficult to get the
various body panels to match at that point.
Pocket match is obviously important (pocket pattern to body pattern), and I also like to find
those that match across the front. A really well-made shirt will have the placket in synch
with the pattern as well, hopefully with the major stripe centered.
Lastly, I put the cuffs together to match them with one another and make sure that the
pattern is not off-center too much. With RTW, you sometimes have to go through a few
before satisfying all those criteria.
