Matching Colored Shirts & Ties

Oh hi, I'm Douglas Willott on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to talk about coordinating your shirt with your tie. Let's talk about what to do when you are not wearing a basic white shirt. You want to wear a shirt with a little color maybe to stand out, maybe to have a little bit more personality then all the other shirts around you. Maybe just because that is your preference. Anyhow when you coordinate a tie with a color shirt there is some varies methods that you can do. There are certain colors that go great together. For instance blue and red are always a classic. As you notice politicians well often too blue and red together for America. Well it also works just because they are good primary colors that stand out when they are next to each other, they are very noticeable. So go ahead and do blue with a red, or a blue with a orange that is great. Maybe you have a design on your tie, you can go ahead and put that against the blue shirt cause on this shirt there is little blue strips. If you have a color that matches the shirt somewhere on the tie, it is going to connect with the shirt really well. At the same time it is going to bring out the contrasting colors in a way that is going to be noticed and tasteful. Similarities we can go with, the silver shirt with the silver tie. The blue is going to be a nice little change of pace over there. We have the brown tie on brown right here. Can you coordinate a color shirt with the same color tie? Absolutely it is nice that the shades are little bit off so it peaks out just a little bit. Otherwise it just looks like a wierd blending tail into your chest.
