Men’s Suit, Tie & Shirt Color Combinations Guid

It can be a little tricky to match a shirt and tie along with your suit. Choosing the right colours can make your style look rich, elegant and presentable.

First impressions usually last. Reading my guide in men’s suits is a great starting point, since fitting your suit is essentially important.

So is the colour combination between the suit, the shirt and the tie.

Actually, the colour of the suit is the first thing someone will notice – even before the brand, the cut, number of buttons, etc.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common colours used in suits and how to match them with a shirt and tie. Keep in mind that the season, weather and the occasion play a crucial role in choosing a colour.

Navy Suit & Pink Shirt Colour Combination

To have an edgier twist, why not combine a pink shirt with your navy suit? This is if you want to get attention.

Pink automatically attracts attention. if you want to achieve an authoritative type of look, match it together with a red tie.

Navy blue suit, light red shirt, and red tie

Navy tie is considered a great option as well. As an alternative, however, you may want to go for a purple or a silver tie.

Consider striped and foulard ties as a primary option for this suit & shirt colour combination. Go for solid and dotted only if you have to.

Best Choices

Suit: Calvin Klein navy slim-fit wool suit.
Shirt: Buttoned-down tailored fit light pink shirt.
Ties: Elvira's solid dark red tie or the Bows n’ Ties striped blue tie

But outside, remember that fit is king. It's your top concern in the style pyramid (before you think of fabric and function/style) for any clothing item.

Rule of thumb: If it doesn't fit (and can't be slightly adjusted to fit) – do NOT buy it. It won't work.

Style Tip  Own A Well-Fitted Suit

 mans shut and tie with black combination........

No matter what your job is, you'll most likely wear a high-quality suit at some point in life.   So if you're going to buy one, make sure it's a classic suit. Consider factors like notch lapels, the proper length of the jacket (the backside shouldn't completely cover your butt) and clean, consistent stitching (check this by opening the vents and breast pocket). For any suit that's off the rack – do take the time to have it adjusted. Some department stores still offer the service, but chances are you'll need to find a tailor independently.   Skilled tailors would know how to make small changes that take it from “mediocre” to “perfect for you.” They could even turn a ten-dollar suit from the thrift shop into a staple of your dress wardrobe. That's right – it doesn't matter where the suit comes from. As long as it looks amazing on you.

Note: Be careful in picking the color of your suit. You wouldn't wear something bright or flashy to a funeral or corporate event. Make the best choice based on the relevant occasion and your shoe color.

                             Charcoal Grey Suit

Charcoal grey is a really great colour that you can choose for a suit, especially if you want to go for a more classic suit type.

Additionally, this suit colour is a great option for formal events, including meetings and weddings. It seems that you can never go wrong with a grey coloured suit; it is perfect for any occasion.

Charcoal Grey over White

Charcoal grey can be the bane of a suit wearer’s existence because of the many variations. If white is a bit too bright to wear, charcoal grey is the perfect colour to use instead.

The problem with this colour is its variety. There is a light charcoal grey and a dark charcoal grey – and the spectrum can be huge.

Deciding the tint and shade is a pure taste or opinion, not a fact, as they are all (almost) equal.

Finding out which is better is simply a matter of looking within the closet and finding the current tone of clothes.

Do you own mostly light suits? Then go with a dark charcoal grey for variation. Reverse this if the closet is full of mostly dark clothes.

It should cover a good amount of options for any wearer. The entire debate over the shade of charcoal grey will never end. Make the choice you feel most comfortable with.

This piece of men's fashion advice is best used when buying a suit or trousers. If you work in a professional environment where you need to look sharp on a daily basis, then having a well-fitted suit is key. The range of our suits from yours truly, The Idle Man, are spot on to pull off a fitted look, and remember, it's easier to take a suit in, rather than out (you can't really do this). 

Fashion Advice

We don't know how many times we've said this to people but the fit of your clothing really is everything. If you're going for a simple and classic look, it's important to know that baggy just won't cut it. Kenya West may be able to pull off the oversize look, but for many of us (including myself), we simply can't. We either end up looking like a disheveled teenager or someone really trying to be stylish but falling flat. When you're investing in a piece of clothing that you see yourself wearing for the next ten years, it's very important that it fits you like a glove.

                        

Button the shirt at the top 

While you're at it, do ensure that you're not choking yourself out. In case you are, please change the shirt. Or die trying (just kidding!)

If you're wearing a dark suit, a light pocket square is advised

And vice-versa. While on pocket squares, make sure it's well-iro 

 Never pair a sports watch with your suit

Different strokes for different folks? It's the same with watches. 

                                              Focus on the jacket

With a suit, it's all about the fit. And the true test of your suit's rests on your shoulders.
