Morning and afternoon ladies and gents! This is a look that goes for the four pattern bingo! This term usually refers to incorporating four patterns into one look. For me, there is an art to it. Some people like to clash as many loud and colorful patterns together in one look for different reasons, which may work for that Individual. Collectively, however, it leads to a look that comes across as garish and contrived. I find the style that works best when blending patterns is to vary the scale as much as possible. In some cases one or two (at most) loud patterns with the others being muted. Here I have on one of my most subtle patterned suits from Luciano Barbera made by Attolini (I plan a future post to talk about this label) with very subtle stripes. From afar, it comes across as a solid suit until you get a little closer. The stripes on this dress shirt from Finamore Napoli (a great brand by the way with quality handmade shirts off the rack) slightly vary in scale from the subtle stripes on the suit. The larger patterns on this tie from Brooks Brothers are my loud piece in terms of the pattern and the color. The pocket square finishes it off with its subtle green, red, and orange patterns to compliment the tie. The medium brown in this good year welted shoes from Ezra Paul finish it off to anchor the whole look. I have included extra pictures in the comments.
