Top 5 Shirt and Tie Combos: #1 Polka Dot Tie, Stripe Shirt

Phineas Cole Tie

It’s one of the simplest to execute and yet one of the most potent combos. You take a striped shirt and a pin-dot or polka dot tie that uses the same colors or shades of the same colors in the shirt and you’re almost always golden.

The combo works with all shirt and tie materials and we see it embraced by everyone from Shia Labeouf to Zac Efron. And there’s a reason. It’s a simple look that uses a basic rule of aesthetics which states that working within the same color schemes by using patterns of different scale (provided they’re not too busy) is usually a safe bet. So give this classic combination a try: it looks smart and thought out, but never overly orchestrated.
