Question: Hi Leo, I have just gotten a dark grey suit with dark blue and black pin stripes. The pin stripes are not overpowering but not too subtle either. I was wondering what kind of shirt and tie combinations would go with this kind of suit. I am going to a wedding and want to look fashionable and trendy. One option is a soft light blue shirt with a tie that has large squares of grey, blue and silver with prominent silver lines dividing the squares (the tie does stand out from the suit) and the other option is a alternating aqua/navy striped shirt with a black, navy and gold striped tie in thick and thin lines. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you SP
Reply: Without seeing the suit and accessories I will try to help you by passing on a few general principles on how to coordinate different pieces of clothing. The pale blue shirt you mention is safe with almost any color of suit and is a particularly good choice with dark grey. When matching accessories to a suit use designs that are very different in size. For example, do not mix narrow stripes on your shirt with narrow stripes or small polka dots on your tie. Blend small patterns with big patterns, narrow patterns with broad patterns and so forth.

With the blue and black suits you need to wear the black belt & shoes and with the ... Light blue shirt or white shirt make good match with Mens grey suit
