When styling men's patterned shirts, sure instinct is required. A perfect shirt look has to be learned. With our exclusive styling tips, you can create exciting stylings in no time at all.
Limit yourself to one pattern
Set off shirts with all-over prints perfectly and always combine patterned long-sleeved shirts or short-sleeved shirts with monochrome garments. Shirts with paisley patterns, plaid patterns or statement stripes need a simple base to shine. A pair of jeans, a pair of cloth pants, a plain knitted sweater or cardigan will show off the flower shirt to its best advantage and draw the focus to the summery men's shirt. With a plain suit and a plain tie, a plaid or striped shirt can be shown off to its best advantage.
The right occasion
While you can let off steam fashionably in your free time, restraint is called for in business. Hawaiian shirts or shirts with eye-catching patterns and colors are the ideal key piece for garden parties, vacations or a city trip. In the office, however, you should avoid colorful shirts. Discreetly striped men's shirts in shades of blue are the perfect alternative here for a chic suit look. The wider the stripes, the more informal the shirt. Plaid shirts may also be worn with a suit and tie. Always combine a plain tie with plaid shirts - this brings calm to the look and looks less obtrusive.
The shirt with pattern in the right fit
When choosing a patterned shirt, make sure it fits well. A slim fit shirt or a modern fit shirt conjures up a defined silhouette and makes the look young and fresh.
