In the second of four blogs Luigi will continue with and show how to match a Striped Shirt. 1) Monterey Blue and White Stripe A classic Bengal (as in “Bengal Tiger”) stripe is always a good striped shirt, especially in its classic colors of blue and white. It’s part of the English “preppy” look and is still today the number one color combination. It’s great with any tie that will pick up the color (blue) or another harmonious contrast (yellow).

The shirt is a muted mini stripe with a predominant shade of blue over a smaller white stripe. It allows for ties with strong contrasting colors. This combo goes great with a solid blue suit as much as with a blue blazer or a blue/gray pinstriped suit.

The choice of tie here is for a “tone down” effect, ideal for a gray solid suit or a pinstripe. It’s a strong striped shirt that enhances both the tie and the suit. Wear it for a day at the office, or for meetings where your personality matches the shirt!
