Check shirts offer a versatile canvas for introducing personal style into your work wardrobe, but pairing them with ties requires a measured approach. While combining patterns can be risky, when executed well, it can yield spectacular results. To ensure harmony, opt for a tie pattern that is larger than that of the shirt, preventing it from getting lost against the background. For instance, pair a thinly striped shirt with bold checks, ensuring the checks are larger for visual balance.

When pairing a patterned shirt with a solid tie, simplicity is key. Choose a tie that is darker than the shirt to create a cohesive look. For example, a Houndtooth Pink Formal Shirt pairs well with a solid navy or burgundy tie. When teaming a tie with a striped shirt, vary the size and scale of the patterns for visual interest. For instance, thin vertical stripes on a shirt can be paired with a club-style tie, as long as the tie's diagonal stripes are chunky. Similarly, combining a formal striped shirt with a Geometric Silk Tie allows both designs to stand out, provided the scale of the patterns differs.
