What shirt to wear under a suit: blue, gray and others
A two-piece suit is an indispensable item in the wardrobe of every self-respecting man. Moreover, we can safely assume that costumes are always relevant. Business event, work in the office or a solemn event - it will be appropriate in any case.
But it’s not enough just to choose a beautiful suit, you need to choose an appropriate shirt for it, which will make the image complete and will not stand out from its style, which is sometimes very difficult.
Let's look at a few tips for choosing a shirt in accordance with the color options for suits.
How to choose a shirt for a suit
Due to the wide variety of colors in men's suits, choosing the right shirt can sometimes be difficult. Since traditional combinations can get boring, and new options can be easily miscalculated, many do not risk experimenting with their own image, remaining in the shadow of their own indecision. That is why we decided to make several options for stylish combinations of shirts of various colors with business suits.
It should be noted in advance that a white shirt is perfect for any of the color options of the suits, since it is universal in combination with other colors.
Blue
In combination with a blue suit, a light blue shirt with discreet stripes or a small, soft check will look great, which will create a standard look.
In addition, a light pink shirt and light shades of green will look good with blue, but some options may need to be complemented as a stylish tie, carefully chosen by color scheme. You should not use bright shirts, because the blue color is quite whimsical in combination with bright colors.
As an experiment, you can wear a light menthol or light lemon shirt, as these colors combine quite well with blue, and at the same time refresh it. The image will be stylish and unusual.
Grey
Light shades of pink, lilac and blue will work well with a dark shade of gray, which, by the way, will also look good with a light gray tone. In addition, you can try to combine a black shirt with a light gray suit, complementing it with a light tie.
You should not use shades of "warm" tones, as they do not go well with "cold" gray.
Light coloured
You can safely wear bright or dark shirts to light shades of suits, since the principle of playing on contrast will always be relevant when choosing images. For example, with a champagne or ivory suit, you can wear a dark brown shirt, as well as amber or mustard shades. Blue, green and yellow shirts are suitable for a light menthol suit.
A white suit will look stylish with traditional black and red shirts, the main thing is to choose the right bow tie or tie.
Beige
It is worth being careful with a beige suit, because in itself it is discreet and faded. But with the right combination, you can get a surprisingly stylish look. For example, with warm shades of dark tones, namely brown and mustard, cocoa and dark chocolate, the look will be sophisticated and suitable in color for autumn events.
You can complement the image with a light lemon shirt or a model in a light peach shade, this will bring some elements of novelty to the image and significantly refresh the calm beige color of the suit.
Brown
As mentioned earlier, brown goes well with warm shades, so you can safely wear shirts in colors such as lemon, peach, light pink and light lilac.
It is worth avoiding combinations with shades of colors such as green, red, orange, blue, since the brown color is absolutely incompatible with these tones and will stand out from the whole style of the image.
Do not forget about accessories, shoes and a tie that are correctly selected according to the color scheme can change a lot in the image and make it more stylish.
Blue
A blue suit is the complete opposite of blue, so a game of contrasts will be relevant here. A light lemon, dark turquoise, coniferous green, emerald or pistachio shirt, as well as models of vanilla, lime, azure, cornflower blue and aquamarine shades are perfect for such a suit. Such combinations look elegant and fresh, and also bring novelty to your usual wardrobe.
It can be difficult to choose shoes for such images, so it’s better to use the services of a stylist-consultant, then you definitely can’t go wrong.
Silver
As for the silver color of the suit, it is not always appropriate, because it looks rather vulgar and is hardly suitable for everyday use. However, this is a good enough option for special occasions, especially in combination with a shirt that is correctly matched in color.
Regarding the silver color, you can not be afraid of bright shades and boldly roam, choosing shirts in rich pink and lilac colors, which will make the image more elegant and bright.
A cornflower blue shirt will add depth to the image and make the owner of the suit more serious and reliable in the eyes of others.
Dark
As for dark suits, they are traditionally combined with light colors, creating beautiful classic looks. For example, dark brown will look stylish with a cream or ivory shirt, while black will work well with a light blue or light pink option.
But do not forget about more striking combinations, such as a black suit and a red shirt, which has joined the ranks of classic images since ancient times.
