Great video, Antonio. My first thought was that that white shirt, you are wearing would perfectly match with the red tie (the 2nd from the right). So, I guess that I would match it this way ;).
Hello Antonio, I'm a young entrepreneur in the art of dressing and have been inspired by you along with Gentleman's Gazette since the beginning. I personally believe for something I could casually wear to school would be a Blue Classic Check with a Green Pupil Tie. I would like to finally thank you for getting me into fine dressing.
Another great video Antonio, I love the blue tatershall shirt with the Bhldn festival textured tie in black cherry I like that it has a more casual feel and the contrast between the warm tones of the tie and the cool tones of the shirt creates a subtle yet striking apperence. With this combo I would use the wood inlay tie bar as the wood plays of the warm tones of the tie and the silver plays off the cool tones of the shirt which would balance out the outfit I also think the wood would go nicely with the more country feel and make a fantastic conversation piece
Hey great video today Antonio and for me who's new to the tie game this video helped me out a lot! Since I have a casual preppy style I would chose the blue chambray shirt and the white buttondown collar shirt. I would pair the shirts with: the medallion shield army green wool tie, the short cut striped wool tie in burnt orange and the burgundy knit tie. In that way I can combine all three ties with the right colour and texture of the shirts and they will fit my classic american preppy style.
A style I never thought would work out, but actually looks great, is a red checked shirt, with a solid navy blue tie. Like the burgundy Petite Gingham (#s37) with Grosgrain Solid tie (#14453). I've worn this combo to a few casual wedding receptions, and it always looks great!
I work in a Credit Union, so it's a fairly relaxed setting. Regardless I like to throw on a tie to step up my game. I'm a big fan of The Tie Bar and have shopped there before. The first combination would be the solid wine colored knit wool tie and the chambray shirt. Perfect for winter and plans after work. I'd also go with the petite houndstooth shirt in purple and either the koustis cats in serene blue, the book smart stripes in charcoal, or the triple play stripe in navy for something a bit more formal but not really dressy. Great video, I just recently found your stuff and have been loving it. Keep up the good work!
Antonio, you are a class act. Thanks for giving me a resource to show my son (and husband) about style. We homeschool our two kids and I show your videos to my little man (10yrs) as part of his manners/etiquette work. I grew up with blue collar dad and brothers but they always had style... from getting dressed, hair, and cologne to install air conditioners and do road surveying. My dear husband didn’t come up that way so I find myself educating him too. Soooo... with my big-and-tall husband in mind I selected the Herringbone shirt (#S16) in either light blue or white standard fit and the extra-long Anderson Plaid in navy (#24281XL) for his handsome blue eyes. And finish it off with the Skull and Crossbones tie bar (#C550) because it’s a family crest. I will keep these in mind for his Christmas wish list. Thanks!
My wardrobe consists mostly of solid shirts in white and blue. For that reason I would probably pick up the classic check shirt in purple to differentiate it. To allow the shirt to be dressed down I would wear a casual tie. I currently don't have many casual ties but the shirt would go well with a navy knit or the blue ridge herringbone to add texture to the combination. If I wanted to raise the formality I could pair it with one of my current ties, like my solid blue tie that resembles the Astute Solid navy tie.
I was actually looking up how to match ties and shirts last week, so your video came at a great time! I have a few TheTieBar ties and tie bars myself, I think they are great quality. I've never tried the shirts before. In fact, I could use a few more for school. I'll come back to your video and use your link when I decide to buy! I would probably pick a simple shirt, like the Pinpoint Solid Blue - Point Collar with the Grosgrain Solid Azalea - extra length!
I gotta pick the Indigo Chambray Dress Shirt as the base, I'm a sucker for the rugged look of chambray. I would match it with the Knitted Rust Tie, the rust color is subdued enough so as not to be so loud against the light blue but you still get that great contrast. Throw a textured light grey sport coat over it with some dark wash denim and you have one cool look 👍🏻 Also worth mentioning, the tie bar has a really great matching tool you can use to check out ties against different shirts and suits. I checked out the rust color against light blue and loved it, pretty cool!
Something I kinda need right now, thanks for covering this topic! I would like to go with a white pinpoint solid french cuff paired with a lumber stripes grey ties because I will wear it with a navy suit, maybe also to pinch it up with black metallic tie bar.
Hi Antonio! As always, great educational content. Useful for all the gentlemen in mastering a sharp dressed-man look. I go into matching the pinpoint solid light blue shirt (awesome by the way the iron-free feature) with the legion plaid raspberry tie; great combination for any business meeting.( bringing also a bit of red, very important as you said in other videos according to studies) Thank you for inspiring us and keep on the good work, Antonio!
I watched this originally for advice buying my husband a tie now for my sons prom. I'd love a new video to help understand both fashion and business wear for my son's generation. I think the only way to improve pin this would be too add an explanation for feature ties, ie. Solid Black high sheen tie with large red Chinese Dragon and for each style show more examples that cover 1. work great, 2. look blah & 3. bad matches
I would go for the simple Indigo Chambray Shirt, and combine it with the Scramble Knit Polkas tie, or the Dark rust Wool knit tie. See what you think of those combos Antonio!
I looked at the tie bar website. I was looking for another possible site for dress shirts. They did not advertise my size 19.0 inch neck and 33 inch sleeve length.
I like the green tattersall with a brown pebble top solid tie would make a nice casual look. Possible for the office depending on where you work. Though I lean more towards brown, green, and blues because I'm a redhead, grey every now and then, and black rarely because I'm pale. Lol... awesome video BTW great info as always.
Antonio, I would put together a white herringbone French cuff shirt with the light blue concord paisley tie. Under a navy suit I think it would look pretty sharp.
Thanks again Antonio, this video taught me a lot about matching my different ties with my dress shirts. I like the combination of the Petite Gingham shirt + the Anemones Tie, it's casual but it has just the right amount of formality for my Job. Again, Thanks a lot.
Chambray shirt with a blue pink tie that has horizontal strips. I really like that combination and of course with a tie bar. The pink would make the shirt pop more. Great video thank you Antonio
Real Men Real Style Hi Antoino yes I am from lomita California or Southern California. 20 yrs old. I stumped across one of your videos a couple years ago and I browsed your channel and saw other videos from there I fell in love with your videos.
Another excellent video Antonio, and we'll times too. Just last night I was researching how to match a tie to a shirt and then this morning I see your video. It's like you read my mind. Anyway to your challenge I would have to choose the mini houndstooth blue shirt with its semispread collar matches with the detour stripe silk burgundy tie. I believe that this pair gives a nice complementing look that would be striking and handsome as either business ir smart casual.
I'm thinking of wearing a cream dress shirt with a white formal tie. The tie has small patterns on it if you look very carefully. I want to work the different shades. What do you think Antonio?
As always, a great video. Although you've covered colour matching before, touching the theme briefly would have been nice. Now for my match. I'm more of a bow tie person, but I have made a choice: The indigo chambray shirt (#S08) is by far my favourite (casual) shirt. For a spring/summer style, I would try it together with the melon freehand solid tie and a khaki/light brown waistcoat. For autumn, I would go with the orange paisley phase tie (or astute solid bow tie) in combination with a more textured, brown or navy/dark blue sports jacket (well, probably a waistcoat due to my high tolerance for cold weather).
The. Navy West Ridge Geo tie and the Lavender shirt is my pick. I have a lavender dress shirt now and its my go to color. I tend to lean toward paisley tie patterns. Like your take on casual ties but they don't work for me.
Hey Antonio! Love your videos, these and Raphael's videos have helped to transform and improve my wardrobe. I have a question however. I recently bought a solid dark-green necktie in a second hand store, but Im worried that it doesnt match my shirts or suits. What shirt and suit combination is best for casual wear with a dark-green tie?
Hey Antonio, thanks for the Video as always it was very informative, but I would disagree with you on one Thing. I personally believe that the single fold Cuff and not the double or "french" Cuff is the most formal since you wear such Shirts to a Cravate blanc Event. as far as matching goes I would pair a black knit Tie with a blue mini Houndstooth Shirt(I'd go for a french Cuff but it is not an option) and a navy or black Blazer that way I can even wear it dark Jeans .I'd also avoid tie bars since they don't go with well with the knit-tie.
great video, if you could do one more on how to match pattern this would be great. example : shirt pattern with tie pattern with pocket square pattern and jacket pattern
Great video Antonio, always wondered about Tie Bar product quality, I'll need to give them a look now. I like the Classic Blue Two Tone Gingham Shirt with a Red Wool Path Stripe Tie. Think it adds some panache to a solid dark suit.
Hello from New Orleans! I really love these videos...I will soon start a job where I will be wearing a tie most of the time, and these vids are a great help. I do, however, have a question. With the check shirt, you advise against a foulard tie, but at 7:55 and again at 8:45, you show check shirts with what appears to be foulards. Was this a mistake? I find that both ties actually look pretty good against the check pattern. Thanks again!JM
Hello &Good morning Antonio i listen to your channel as i listen to others also... The way i see it, if each say the same thing in a different light then it must be worth remembering... I was watching "Gentilemans Gazette" and saw something new> Request: Can you expand on two items; 1.)Underbutton collar 2.)Cocktail cuffs Thank you sir Frankie Whittom
Great video! I'm a big fan of the Blue Micro Stripe shirt at Tie Bar. I like the idea of using the HERRINGBONE VOW Copper tie with it. Question on fit though...what do guys like me with oversized necks do? I have a 16.5-17" neck, but a 41/42 inch chest and 33" waist. Getting a 17" neck shirt gives me a 49" chest. Should I buy it based on the neck and have it tailored way down?
Question for everybody: aren't Antonio's shirt's sleeves too long? I got a shirt which has the sleeves "stuffed" material on the arms like that and I don't find it good looking.
Great video! Definitely one of my favorites. I would match a the classic blue check shirt (#s34) with the red and blue stripe strong side stripe, item (#22121) plus maybe the brushed metal tie bar (#c893).
I want to pair the chambray shirt with the apprentice solid dark brown wool tie. I have bee looking for a tie to pair with my chambray and I think I found it.
I have dark skin that shows through white shirts. That's why I never wear one. Hearing that literally any other color is not considered formal has me a little concerned. Am I worried about nothing in my skin showing through or should I do something else like wear an undershirt? Thanks
An undershirt will help with that and you should wear one anyways. It helps to have an extra layer between your skin and dress shirt. Less chance for sweat or deodorant stains on your dress shirts. You can also explore options for a suit jacket, sports jacket or blazer
To touch on your 2nd point. White is just the most formal color of all but doesn't mean other colors can't be somewhat formal. Blues, pinks and purples in a lighter solid color can be worn in some formal situations and be perfectly fine.
Probably the blue mini houndstooth shirt with the maroon counter medallion tie .. www.thetiebar.com/product/S35-3233145-TF?ResultCount=41 and www.thetiebar.com/product/32017sk?ResultCount=4 .. :)
Johnny A. Yes of course. I am not an expert but I would say a darker blue like navy blue or midnight blue is better than lighter shades though. A navy blue tie with some silver or white stripes will really complement a red shirt too.
Would try and go for the Mirco stripe dress shirt, blue. Its pretty formal but i dont feel like its too formal. Would prefer to have a button down but i couldnt seem to find one just right. And for the tie pebble top solid brown. To make it a smart casual look with a bit of ruggedness. www.thetiebar.com/product/S07-1553233-SF www.thetiebar.com/product/31348SK?ResultCount=2
Never knew there were square end ties. That aside, I've always kept my ties solid with 2 exceptions which are from the anime, Danganropa and Blue Exorcist. Those 2 are my casual area.
Answer to your "pop quiz" I'll wear whatever style and color I damn well want to wear. I dont dress to please others, I dress to please me and that's all that matters.
Well, let me see. It is autumn now and my style leans towards casual/smart casual/business casual so I would go for this Petite Gingham shirt in sky blue. I am a tall and slender guys, so I wear lots of dark trousers, light shirts and contrasting belts, so this one will fit really nice especially considering it is light blue. I can quite literally pair it with any pair of trousers I have: www.thetiebar.com/product/S27-3233145-TF?ResultCount=41 For a tie I would go with hunter green dotted hitch tie. It is a wool one, which fits the autumn season and on top of that suits my style and compliments my eye colour (piercing green). And green is my go to colour for neckwear, because it simply implies respect and calmness and that's great for my lifestyle and my office: www.thetiebar.com/product/31660tw?ResultCount=3 And bonus round - I can wear the shirt with this bowtie as well. I love bowties as a tall guy with a long face. They help me add another horizontal line, which can only help me. I would opt for hunter green again: www.thetiebar.com/product/B2324ST Bonus round #2 (yes, I am feeling far too creative xD) - personally I love combing blue, green and brown together for the earth tone look too. It gives a very close to nature vibe, which I really love.
What do you think about the purple Petite Houndstooth shirt paired with the green West Ridge Solid tie. Personally I have a soft spot for green ties, I think they are underused.
So in a nutshell, all you need to do is match the formality and pay attention to the pattern of the shirt and tie so it doesn't conflict with each other. Have I got that right?
I would get the Multi Tone Gingham Dress shirt www.thetiebar.com/product/S38-3233145-TF Paired with the Woodford Plaid dark brown tie. 2.5 inch for my slim body type www.thetiebar.com/product/31801sk?ResultCount=2 Since I am in college I tend to wear more casual clothes which these would fit perfectly with. Being in Alaska a wool tie with dark colors is perfect for the cold weather.
