How to match a tie to a shirt, suit and vest?
Clothing accessories perform one of the most important functions. They create a competent image and also give a polish to the external style. A tie is not only the main decoration of a man's suit, it is able to complement the look with greater elegance and originality. Today, many people have the misconception that a tie is an integral attribute of a business suit, in fact it is not. Modern fashion trends dictate their proposals, and this item of clothing is now considered not only a part of corporate etiquette.
Basic selection rules
At the first mention of the word "tie", the first association that arises in us is a classic suit, which weakly feels fashion trends and is not particularly affected by insignificant details. It is impossible to imagine a business suit without this accessory, without it the image seems incomplete. A properly selected tie will emphasize manhood, and in order not to make mistakes, you should take into account the basic rules, taking into account color, fabric and size. There are 3 key rules to follow for a win-win choice.
- Color design plays one of the key roles. Today the color palette is presented in thousands of shades. The classic version is a light jacket, a dark shirt and a plain tie without a pattern. Printed accessories deserve special attention. The main thing is that each of the elements of clothing does not conflict with the rest. It is advisable to choose patterns that are similar, but with a slight difference.
- The male figure affects the size. Large-build men should purchase an elongated and wide accessory. The main thing is to remember that the bottom of the tie should be at the level of the top edge of the belt or slightly higher. The standard width is 7.5-9.5 cm, it can also be made to order.
Do not forget about convenience - a tie should not cause discomfort.
- The quality of the material plays one of the key roles. Give preference to woolen and silk fabrics.
How to choose a shirt?
Which tie works best for a complete, elegant look depends on the shirt. Here, first of all, the color and pattern are taken into account, allowing you to correctly combine the elements of the wardrobe. It is enough to have 2-3 shirts, one trouser suit and several ties. By changing the models of accessories, you can create radically different looks.
For example, the white shirt looks great with any element, just like the gray... An attribute of the same color, but a few tones darker, or a black accessory with red stripes will harmoniously suit red. For burgundy, choose ties in black or blue, and if you choose with a pattern, then the stripes should be in the same tone as the shirt. Blue and blue shirts allow you to choose the most diverse attribute: gray, yellow, red, green, burgundy, black.
The purple shirt is less varied in the palette and welcomes only shades of the same color, but a few tones lighter. The black shirt provides an opportunity to experiment with contrasts. You can pick up a tie of any color: white, purple, red, blue, yellow, green, purple. The hardest thing is to choose an accessory for a pink shirt.
Win-win options are purple, purple, and blue.
Which tie matches the suit?
Image makers are guided by one basic rule when choosing elements: suit - shirt - tie... It is this sequence that allows you not to make a mistake with the choice and not to complicate the style.To do this, just put the jacket on the bed and start picking up the missing details of the wardrobe.
The main thing is not to use uniform colors, patterns and patterns. The suit and shirt should contrast with each other, and the tie should complement the color of the first and stand out against the background of the overall image. A universal option is a blue suit, which will work with almost any tie, especially if it is dark blue or burgundy. This combination of colors looks harmonious, causing a positive impression on others. Remember that it is the color of the tie that characterizes your mood and emotional background.
Consider the width of the stripes when combining striped items. They must be different and only 2 things. The third piece should be in tune with the stripe present on the other pieces. For example, a blue suit with white stripes and a plain white shirt complement a burgundy tie with wide white stripes. A similar principle applies to the use of cages in clothing. For example, a plain light gray suit is set off by a white shirt with a wide red-gray check, a dark gray tie with thin stripes completes the style.
Let's take a closer look at the combination of colors.
- Blue suit looks good with a blue tie, but provided that the shirt is light. Elements can also be with patterns, as long as they fit together. A blue suit with a red accessory looks quite impressive. The combination of these 2 colors makes a man stand out. A yellow, black or white wardrobe attribute also looks great with dark blue.
- To black picking up a tie is easy, since the color is considered universal. A black tie and a suit in tandem with a white shirt look elegant. The main thing is to remember that when choosing this image, you should not combine the colors of the same tone, otherwise it will look dull.
- White suit is no different from the previous one. You can also choose accessories of different shades for it. For example, a white suit, a red shirt, and a white tie. The color looks noble with blue, green, orange, lilac, pink and other tones.
- To gray select a wardrobe attribute of a certain shade. It is quite logical that a tie that is darker or lighter in tone is perfect for such an outfit. You can also experiment with burgundy, purple, blue, black, brown and green.
- Wardrobe detail for brown suit shouldn't be bright. It is best to opt for colors such as gray, burgundy, black and various shades of brown. This color looks noble, however, it should be correctly supplemented with elements.
It is important to pay attention to the quality of the fabric when choosing a brown suit.
- Burgundy suit has a limited number of options. It can be a tie in the color of the outfit, but in a different tone. If in doubt about the choice, then give preference to a black or blue tie.
However, don't forget to experiment with different shades and patterns. The main thing is that all the elements of the image are combined with each other.

If everything is done correctly, then it will visually make the figure more slender. The classic version is trousers and a vest in the same tone, combined with a light shirt and a dark tie.
