When selecting a men's suit, it's very important to ensure
that it is a garment that is going to match well with the
rest of your wardrobe. This includes matching with your
ties, cuff links and most importantly, shirts.
Outlined in this article are a number of simple tips that
will help you to choose the best suit to match your
wardrobe, without losing your sense of style. This article
assumes that you understand the basics of choosing a new
mens suit, and understand how to select the right size for
you.
Matching your suit to your tie: A simple and
straightforward rule is this - match a striped or patterned
tie with a plain suit, and a plain tie with a patterned or
pinstriped suit. Try to avoid wearing a striped tie with a
striped suit, especially if the stripes on the suit are not
subtle. When matching the colour, try to match at least one
of the tones in your tie to that of your suit. This will
give your outfit a considered look, and as long as you
match your shirt accordingly, will bring the outfit
together.
Matching your suit to your cuff links: This is a relatively
simple process. Try for a tone match, like you did with
your tie. The cufflinks should match either with your
shirt, tie or suit. It's also quite acceptable to wear
plain metallic cufflinks - generally silver is a safer bet
than gold.
Matching your suit to your shirt: The first thing to
consider is patterning, as we did when matching the tie. If
the suit is boldly striped, stay away from a striped shirt.
A plain shirt will work under nearly any circumstances so
will generally provide you with the most value. Dependant
on how conservative you want your outfit to be, avoid
bright colours like bright reds and yellows. Although a
crisp, white shirt may be seen by some as boring, it will
match anything and never go out of style. It's also easy to
accessorise a white shirt with personal touches, such as
cuff links.
Bringing the outfit together: In general, if you remember
these tips when matching a suit, you can't go wrong. One of
the key things is to ensure a common thread running through
the outfit, and this is best done by matching the tones of
your suit, shirt, cufflinks and tie, and also including
some complimentary tones on your tie. Now, don't wear an
outfit that is all the same colour, however do match colour
elements of the outfit.
