Patterns and styling tips
The fancy pattern
I’ve included in this section everything that doesn’t fit into the classic patterns: I wear them most of the time either with a very sober outfit (navy blue jacket, white shirt), or I play up the contrast with a very businesslike outfit with lots of stripes.
As this tie is quite light, I’d recommend wearing it with a light gray summer suit and a white shirt. Not at all what I’ve done in this photo, then (although it’s okay with medium skin/hair contrast).
