Matching the right suit<\/a> colour to the right shirt is not as easy as it should be. But, if men can nail the best combinations it will elevate their overall look, making the outfit instantly more presentable. No matter whether you are wearing your suit and shirt for work or to an event, the colours will typically be the first things people notice before honing in on the finer details. So, it is important to make that first impression a great one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure your outfit looks more cohesive we need to learn the basics of colour matching. This foundation lesson in styling is an important skill for outfit building. Once mastered, men can easily apply it to other combinations like your\u00a0shirt and tie<\/a>\u00a0or add a dash of colour to a muted look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding The Colour Wheel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can throw as much money as you like at a wardrobe of clothes, but unless they can match effectively to create daily looks, they are useless. Alongside fit, aligning complementary colours together can be a crucial foundation lesson to learn, enabling men to look their best every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have the basics of colour matching down, you can feel more confident pairing items together, whether that be a suit and shirt or a shirt and jeans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principles of the colour wheel are three-fold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar colours<\/strong> sit closer together on the wheel. Choose one colour as the base and add a neighbouring hue to easily match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complementary colours<\/strong> are opposite each other. Getting this right will come from practice. In theory, they complement but they can often be quite jarring within an outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrasting colours<\/strong> have three colours between them. If in doubt use a familiar darker tone as the foundation hue, like dark grey or navy for example. Then partner with a contrasting colour in a lighter hue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to remember though that the principles of the colour wheel are open to interpretation. Through active implementation, you will gain a better understanding of what works well together. That is why we have brought you our list of top colour partners for formal outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this list, we have opted for plain colour shirts and suit combinations. This is not to say you can't include checked or striped versions of both, but we wanted to offer a simplified understanding of the basics of colour matching. Those men with more experience can use these foundations to build on and experiment with patterns and textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we had to recommend one suit colour, it would be hands-down be a navy<\/a> one. For men, it offers a fantastic baseline for absorbing a wealth of colours and textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combo of white and navy is great for all guys. A crisp white shirt helps to lighten the darker navy hue and is a perfect backdrop for introducing colour through a tie or pocket square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
