Long live the tie! But how to match it with the shirt?

Fuchsia tie with white shirt Just look around to discover how the use of this accessory is becoming less and less frequent in everyday life due to the casual trends that fashion imposes on us but, let's face it, there are occasions in which the tie is indispensable : ceremonies and weddings, interviews or formal work environments. Precisely this very limited use requires us to pay more attention in choosing the combinations with shirt and jacket. Here, then, is a small guide to obtain an impeccable combination of shapes, colors and patterns . GOLDEN RULE : Do not mix more than three colors or patterns together. NOT TO BE MISTAKEN : go for a solid-colored tie with bright colors to stand out from the light-colored shirt and suit, but be careful of the shocking effect, never recommended. THE COLOR : abandon the fiery red and choose burgundy, forget about light green or yellow and choose blue, forest green or brown, and if you love to amaze, dare to wear fuchsia ! PATTERNS : Micro patterns are always a great choice, especially polka dots and stripes, always being careful not to choose patterns with more than three colors. OVERLAYS : Avoid pairing ties and shirts with different patterns. Instead, if you can’t give up colors and patterns, match everything so that one of the colors of the tie pattern matches the color (solid color) of the shirt.
