How to choose a tie to match a gray suit (2) “Consider the relationship between the pattern of the suit and the pattern of the tie.

(1) Next to the color, the pattern is also important when considering the suit and tie combination. With suits and jackets with monotone patterns, such as gray glen checks and herringbone patterns, suddenly attracting attention these days, it will not be long before gray suits with patterns become a mainstay in the suit. If you are going to wear such a patterned gray suit, you will want to carefully consider the balance between the pattern of the tie and the pattern of the suit.

If you’re going to match a patterned tie with a patterned gray suit, it’s all about the pitch!

When wearing a patterned suit with a patterned tie, if the patterns are similar in pitch, they may clash with each other and give a noisy impression. In such cases, the trick is to choose a pattern with a different pitch and combine them. For example, Alessio Raldini, who is in charge of the Raldini knitwear collection, wore a gray suit with a fine check pattern and a wide regimental tie. By mixing patterns with a clear difference in pitch, he creates a crisp V-zone where the patterns do not fight with each other.
