Match Your Tuxedo And Tie

There are some men who cannot look elegant in a tuxedo. They could be attired in a good looking shirt, a tie, and yet appear shabby. This may be on account of the fact that they are the kind who seem badly groomed irrespective of what they are donning. I have a on who fits into this category.

In all likelihood, it could be because of the fact that the suit, tie, shirt and shoes just do not agree with one another. In many cases, this is the crux of the problem. A number of men are just not able to synchronize the overall appearance, or may not be too bothered about the whole issue.

As they say, “clothes maketh the man” and you should at least try to look your best. You should do this regardless of whether you are dressing for work, or you are off out for an evening meal at a restaurant.

The wrong approach would be to attempt to go with a tuxedo based upon matching what you already have. Ideally you would have previously considered the type of garment you are interested in. If you are using a fine tailor, you should definitely get their advice and plan accordingly. It is highly recommended that you go basic, preferably with a simply black or other dark color tuxedo.

Power suits, ought to be navy blue with a neat, plain white shirt accompanied by a plain dark tie. A white shirt with a plain dark tuxedo will appear traditional and professional. Muted shades of blue are alright too. Here too, the tie should be distinct and blend well with the quality and shade of the tuxedo.

Ties with a repeating design are not as formal as solid color ties. They clash strongly with patterned shirts, so they should be avoided in this context.

Make sure to use a light colored shirt with a basic white or similar tuxedo. Ties that have repeating symbols would work well with this type of tuxedo, and one that has a darker tone to it would be the perfect complement.

When wearing shirt, suit and tie each of which contain more than one color, ensure that they each contain at least a small amount of the main jacket color. Full use of the mirror to match your tuxedo and tie, or a second opinion is always useful.
