How to Pair Shirts & Ties with Blue Suits - Smart Menswear Combinations

About this video

The Gazette team explores how to effectively style shirt and tie combinations with blue suits across different shades and seasons. They demonstrate that while blue is a neutral suiting staple, not all combinations work equally well, and they provide guidance on color selection, pattern scaling, textures, and footwear to create cohesive outfits.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that different shades of blue suits (navy, midnight navy, medium blue) call for different shirt and tie pairings, with lighter or pastel colors offering better contrast than matching navy tones
• The Gazette team recommends varying texture and material based on season—wool-based ties for fall and winter, silk or cotton ties for spring and summer—to maintain appropriate visual weight
• The Gazette team teaches that when combining patterned pieces, changing the scale of patterns (small suit with medium tie, for example) creates visual interest without appearing chaotic
