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.
Here, this whimsical pattern is quite assertive, but can gain a lot of gravitas when worn with a pinstripe suit, as is the case here.
