Gentleman,
Patterns are in sytle and they are looking dashing. But alot of you men are sticking to those solid colors possibly because matching multiple patterns to an outfit is a scary idea. But gentleman today we will break that solid rut and up your style game by 50 maybe even 60% by teaching you how to match patterns and join the new age of style. When we're finished you can stop looking like this.
And more like a Boss.
In reality their is only two rules to keep in mind. The first rule is contrasting thickness. This thickness is the size of the pattern. for example thin stripes like this v.s large thick stripes on the right.
 |
| Small strip |
 |
| Thicker stripe |
When placed in an outfit these to thicknesses should be contrasting for example.
 |
Notice the contrast in thickness on the stripe tie and the pinstripe suit. look at how thin stripes on the suit are vs. the stripes on the tie. notice how it still looks great while if the stripes were all the same size it would look funky.
|
Rule number 2 is simple. Just like number one it has to do with contrasting but this time we are contrasting density. All that really means is how many times that pattern repeats itself in a giving volume for example.
In this pokadot design on top the dots are tightly packed per square inch making the density thick. While on the bottom they are much more spread out making the density a little more spread out.
Alright that was alot of information but here are some real life examples that will make it easier to understand.
This man is applying both rules he is contrasting the plaid sport coats with the striped tie. notice the thickness and density differences between the two. The tie has thiner lines then the plaid sport coat and is more dense as well.
Here is another good example of diffrent patterns working with these rules. This gentleman has 4 diffrent patterns. Starting with the sport coat; it is a window pattern that isnt very dense and the strips are thin this contrast with the shirt witch is a plain that is significantly thincker and denser. The tie contrast both of these patterns by again the size of the dots and the desity that is somewhere in between the coat and the shirt. And finally the pocket square is just a little flare of sophisticaton.
Even stars follow this idea. Starting with the 3 peace suit it has a plain design this has no density and no thicknes so it contrasts with any design. The tie is a pokadot design with smalldots it is also very dense witch contrast with the gygnuim shirt that is a little less dense and thicker. All and all he is looking dashing.
Gentleman keep in mind style is that you can do anything you want. you can match checked, dots and plaid: or you can do solids, stripes and paisley; even gygnuim dots and houndstooth, the posiblities are endless. So gentleman follow these rules and have fun we promise you people will give you compliments. Have a great day gentleman.
Your friends
