Pattern Matching Made EASY! 5 SECRETS To Mixing Multiple Patterns For Men
About this video
Centeno teaches five rules for matching patterns in menswear outfits. He explains common pattern types found in suits, shirts, and accessories, then demonstrates how to layer patterns effectively by keeping colors muted, introducing patterns gradually through accessories, avoiding similar patterns placed adjacent to each other, seeking complementary rather than exact matches, and practicing to develop pattern-matching confidence.
Key takeaways
- Centeno recommends starting pattern experimentation with small accessories like neckties and pocket squares before investing in patterned suits or shirts
- Centeno argues that solids should form the base of most wardrobes since patterned items must be rotated and cannot be worn repeatedly
- Centeno advises avoiding similar pattern types next to each other, as patterns of comparable proportion and size can create optical illusion; instead, combine different pattern scales like pinstripes with larger twills
- Centeno teaches that complementary colors across multiple pieces create more sophisticated outfits than exact pattern or color matches, which appear amateur
