How to match a tie

Your key to success often depends on how you dress. Negotiate a business deal successfully by making sure that your tie matches your shirt.

With Plain shirt

When you are wearing a plain shirt to office or business meet, pair it with a patterned tie. Play with the color, texture and the design of the tie as there is a lot of room for experiment.

With Small patterned shirt

When you have a small patterned shirt, make sure to pair it with a little patterned tie. Embossed paisley prints or subtle stripes look good on small patterned shirt.

With Bold shirt

When your shirt is making the most statement, it can become trickier to match the right tie with the shirt. The best that you can do is match a plain tie with the shirt as that will focus on the shirt more.

If you choose light colors like sky blue or mauve, you can experiment with different designs and types of ties starting from the checkered to spotted or even striped. However when you wear shirts with stripes on them, opt for thin stripes on the tie as that will look smart. You can also choose a plain solid colored tie to make it the perfect office wear.

For any events other than office

Contrasting shirt colors and ties can look great for events. This combination can make you look super stylish and at the same time very sleek as well. Keep in mind that stripes and the checks do not go well together. So never make the mistake of wearing a check shirt with a stripe tie. However with checks you can try the tie with wider stripes if you are rather confident with your worth and self esteem.
