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.
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.
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
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!
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!
Excellent video! I tend to mix it up a bit depending on the mood and occasion, and I do have my share of formal power ties and solid shirts. But I do lack combinations in brown and gray family. My choices: the Chambray shirt with the brown Pebble Top Solid, a nice textured tie for casual occasions; White Textured Shirt sporting the Rebel Plaid tie; and a Swansea Solid gray tie matched to the blue Micro Stripe Shirt.
Antonio, I have purchased three shirts from thetiebar and they are amazing! Fitting and quality are top notch! Well worth the money. Much appreciated for taking the time to produce the videos! :)
That Chambray Indigo dress shirt showed in the video looks amazing! That being said I would love to pair that with a super fun night out casual Kingsley Floral, either the orange or plum. I vote orange.
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!
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!
Antonio thank you for another great video!! Now I can finally match up all my dad's old ties with my dress shirts that I never knew would match. I checked out the website and decided on this combo as my favorite: Sky Blue classic Gingham dress shirt with the Jet Set Solid burgundy tie.
Yet another great video Antonio (haven't watched one yet that hasn't been great). I like the white textured solid shirt with the Cherry BHLDN Festival Textured Solid tie. It is simple, yet elegant.
I like the burgundy mini Tattersall with the Teal Bond Geos . I love the mini squares on the shirt and I love the contrast from the light blue color on the shirt with the Dark teal on the tie
Well good day Antonio with my choice with matching the shirt and tie together I think it’s only proper to bring a little bit of color and try something fun. My first example would be the purple PETITE HOUNDSTOOTH shirt pairing that with either a solid purple tie or even bringing A little more style into the wardrobe with the purple solid and that Tie. To me I feel this is a smart business casual look that can also be used as an after work drink session with the coworkers. I do believe however that the ideology behind it is that one must first understand the basics of the tie and shirt combination, and then try to add some color and some fun into the picture. Ultimately I think that any gentleman that’s taking into consideration their appearance can’t go wrong. Thanks again for your consideration and keep up the great work!
Here is my paired combination. 1) White Harringbone - French Cuff Trim Fit Item# 519 2) Grosgrain solid 2.5 inch Regular length Navy color silk tie Item# 34436
I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with the quality and selection featured in the brick and mortar menswear chains in my area lately. Thank you so much for bringing The Tie Bar to my attention as I’m absolutely amazed at their products. I’d be lost if it weren’t for hard working influencers like you, Antonio! Keep it up!
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.
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
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.
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!
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?
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.
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?
I can vouch for The Tie Bar. I bought more than a dozen of their solid color silk knit ties; perfect for subdued-pattern dress shirts. A very good product at a very good price.
Great video Antonio...this is always a useful topic to learn mor of...I would use for an occasion not too formal, not too casual the following: textured solid white shirt (S40), bandana jubilee burgundy tie (35597sk) and a black houndstooth panel pocket square (pp1189)
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!
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?
I have a wedding to go to next weekend, I'm very new to this, I'm wearing a charcoal suit with a solid royal blue shirt, what color tie should I go with? I was thinking black with diagonal royal blue stripes? Any advice would be appreciated
Hi Antonio, thanks for the video. I was "taught" that once you have a visible pattern on the shirt, the necktie should be solid, as patterns shouldn't be mixed. Another thing is that when we wear a suit, the necktie should either bond the shirt & jacket or contrast them, depending on colors and patterns. Let me know what you think? Cheers!
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.
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).
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.
Hey Antonio and team! I would choose the light pink textured solid dress shirt with the green freehand solid linen tie. As my drum teacher always reminds me, keep it simple stupid!
I think the petite gingham shirt with the Knoxville plaid navy tie. I think the solid color with white stripe. While technically falling under the same repeating pattern, the tie has so much more solid navy that it may accent the pattern on the shirt rather than compete with it for the pattern.
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.
Great video! I’ve been wondering about matching with a blue pattern shirt I have and this was very useful - thanks! I like the chambray shirt with the chocolate brown textured tie.
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.
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.
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.
great video Antonio. very informative, definitely I'll be putting this in practice. I actually have been looking for tie bars, I'd love the silver plain tie bar they have. Thanks
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.
I would go with a mini Tattersall shirt (S39) with a Cliffside stripe tie (25076) in 3.5 inches for a fun/hot weather look, or swap that tie out with a red social stripe tie (27112) for a preppy look, also in 3.5 inches.
I know it works putting some pattern ties on a pattern shirt but for me I like solid shirts because they are the most versatile with solid and pattern ties. That's just me. But i love the videos
As I like to dress a bit more formal at work, I'd go with the french cuff Herringbone shirt, #S19-3233165-SF. I would pair it with the navy Market Geos tie, #31922, the Silver Shot tie bar, #C459, and lastly the silver Bricked cufflinks, #C1445-G.
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
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.
Excellent information! Tie bar seems like a great company. Never having owned a chambray shirt, I like the chambray indigo dress shirt paired with the various stripe serene blue tie. Looks like it would pair very well with a well-fitted pair or chinos and some loafers or sneakers.
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
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.
Awesome Video Man. Thanks for the tips!!! Personally I am thinking of wearing the Purple 'Petite Houndstooth" (Item #S42) with my Navy Suit & Brown Shoes and to top it off I'm thinking of an Orange 'Mini Dots' (Item #32365) Tie 3-inch for work-wear. Thanks again for the info, yet again useful :D.
My question, I have two ties. One is a plain violet that looks silky. The other is a handmade silk tie with navy, black, and bright red coastal native designs. I was gifted this tie for my participation in a potlatch in the elders center. Would these ties be considered casual, formal, or both?
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

How would I match a floral shirt with a tie? Or would that be too much?
Aksel Kristensen in MY opinion you shouldnt wear tie with floral patterned shirts,pattern is just too informal to wear with ties.
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 ;).
Peter Slavchev you can literally match almost all colors with white dresshirt (expect ofcourse white)
Holy cow, this was one of the top educational videos at RMRS
You rock - thanks!
Hands down, one of the most practical and to the point videos Antonio ever made. Keep it up!
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.
This is the kind of content I follow you for Antonio! These comprehensive treatments of style topics are your greatest strength.
Thanks for the honest feedback! :) Did you have a favorite combination in mind?
I love the format in which you displayed and explained the informal vs formal ties
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.
LOVE The Tie Bar!!! I live near a store and each time I go I buy something. I’ll be there Wednesday actually 🙈
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
I have bought several ties from The Tie Bar, and, they wear out very quickly. I find the quality is not very good, but, you get what you pay for.
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.

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!
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!
Finally! Someone makes a definitive guide to tie matching.
Glad it helped. Which combination is your favorite?
I love your videos Antonio. Always great content.
Thank you! Appreciate it.
Excellent video! I tend to mix it up a bit depending on the mood and occasion, and I do have my share of formal power ties and solid shirts. But I do lack combinations in brown and gray family. My choices: the Chambray shirt with the brown Pebble Top Solid, a nice textured tie for casual occasions; White Textured Shirt sporting the Rebel Plaid tie; and a Swansea Solid gray tie matched to the blue Micro Stripe Shirt.

Antonio thank you for another great video!! Now I can finally match up all my dad's old ties with my dress shirts that I never knew would match. I checked out the website and decided on this combo as my favorite: Sky Blue classic Gingham dress shirt with the Jet Set Solid burgundy tie.
Yet another great video Antonio (haven't watched one yet that hasn't been great). I like the white textured solid shirt with the Cherry BHLDN Festival Textured Solid tie. It is simple, yet elegant.
Thanks Jacob! Good choice.
I like the burgundy mini Tattersall with the Teal Bond Geos . I love the mini squares on the shirt and I love the contrast from the light blue color on the shirt with the Dark teal on the tie

Glad you find it useful champcantwin - Did you have a favorite combination in mind?
I'm loving their Classic Navy Gingham Shirt with their Fine Point Solid Grey Tie!
Something I kinda need right now, thanks for covering this topic!

Just what I needed, thanks, Antonio!
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?
Great Video. One thing I've struggled with was matching the tie with shirt. Thank you.
You're not the only one who mentioned it!
Fantastic info as usual!! Thank you. I wear suits and ties every day so this helped a lot:). Hope all is well Antonio.
Great info. I already knew a bit about color and pattern, but never considered material.
This is a topic that I think about every morning so thank you for for your thoughts!
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.
Welcome! Good combo here Jose.
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?
That Dinosaur tie bar is epic! 😅 Would absolutely rock that with the royal purple tie and a white shirt at a student ball 😁🕺
I can vouch for The Tie Bar. I bought more than a dozen of their solid color silk knit ties; perfect for subdued-pattern dress shirts. A very good product at a very good price.
I couldn't agree more!
Great video Antonio...this is always a useful topic to learn mor of...I would use for an occasion not too formal, not too casual the following: textured solid white shirt (S40), bandana jubilee burgundy tie (35597sk) and a black houndstooth panel pocket square (pp1189)
I like this combo Pollo :)
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!
Great video as always Antonio. I have missed a few videos but I'll be sure to watch them as soon as possible.
Sounds great - thanks for being here Song of the Sea!
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?
PETITE GINGHAM (sky blue) + textured solid knit (chocolate) + feather silver tie bar
I have a wedding to go to next weekend, I'm very new to this, I'm wearing a charcoal suit with a solid royal blue shirt, what color tie should I go with? I was thinking black with diagonal royal blue stripes? Any advice would be appreciated
Beatiful knitted neckie my dad used to wear them i adopted that style
Hi Antonio, thanks for the video.
I was "taught" that once you have a visible pattern on the shirt, the necktie should be solid, as patterns shouldn't be mixed. Another thing is that when we wear a suit, the necktie should either bond the shirt & jacket or contrast them, depending on colors and patterns. Let me know what you think? Cheers!
Patterns can be mixed. :) You can check the best combinations here: www.realmenrealstyle.com/matching-shirts-neckties/
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.
Thanks Nathan!
A great video Antonio. i learnt a lot and I received a lot of compliments in my college. Thank you.
Also, i have a question. I often see men wear a tie with jeans. Is it advisable? Or only with trousers?
I would want to pair the Navy colored Grosgrain Solid tie with the White Herringbone-French cuff dress shirt for a more formal look.
Great video Antonio! Thanks so much for these tips.
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).
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.
Hey Antonio and team! I would choose the light pink textured solid dress shirt with the green freehand solid linen tie. As my drum teacher always reminds me, keep it simple stupid!
For sure!
I think the petite gingham shirt with the Knoxville plaid navy tie. I think the solid color with white stripe. While technically falling under the same repeating pattern, the tie has so much more solid navy that it may accent the pattern on the shirt rather than compete with it for the pattern.
Antonio. Great video. It would be fun if you made us vote which order we would put the ties, from least to most formal. Keep up the great work
I like the orange like stripe. Maybe Id pair with a gingham light blue shirt. I like their anchor tie bar too
Good idea :)
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.
excellent video , thanks Mister . happy to be the first to comment, haha
Thanks for being here!
Should we wear contrasting colour tie as formal or is it going to be the other way round ?
Great video! I’ve been wondering about matching with a blue pattern shirt I have and this was very useful - thanks!
I like the chambray shirt with the chocolate brown textured tie.
Thanks Ryan!
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.
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.
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.
pinpoint solid- point collar dress shirt in light blue, with the concord piasley ties or medallion shields in navy!
great video Antonio. very informative, definitely I'll be putting this in practice. I actually have been looking for tie bars, I'd love the silver plain tie bar they have. Thanks
I do too!
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
Agreed - pink shirts adds contrast to the combo.
Dominick - Just wanted to learn more about you. Curious - where are you from? how did you find this channel?
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.
Winner! Congratulations Dominick :) Kindly send your contact details including your RUclipsr name: www.realmenrealstyle.com/contact/
Just sent
I would go with a mini Tattersall shirt (S39) with a Cliffside stripe tie (25076) in 3.5 inches for a fun/hot weather look, or swap that tie out with a red social stripe tie (27112) for a preppy look, also in 3.5 inches.
I know it works putting some pattern ties on a pattern shirt but for me I like solid shirts because they are the most versatile with solid and pattern ties. That's just me. But i love the videos
I would wear the tattersall shirt with the lumber stripe tie. The small repeating pattern would look good with the big bold stripe pattern
I've been using the Tie Bar for years
That was actually pretty helpful. Thank you
That was a good one. I was actually searching for a similar video. Thanks. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Random Stuff Guy!
As I like to dress a bit more formal at work, I'd go with the french cuff Herringbone shirt, #S19-3233165-SF. I would pair it with the navy Market Geos tie, #31922, the Silver Shot tie bar, #C459, and lastly the silver Bricked cufflinks, #C1445-G.
I would personally go Petite Hounds-tooth (shirt) with Flower City (tie) in red. A very bold combination that i think could be pulled off well!
Super!
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
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.
Just purchased 2 new shirts yesterday, talk about perfect timing!!!! 👍🏽
No that's Google monitoring your irl activities.
Great tips in this episode. Also, I think the chambray Indigo shirt with the baby pink (medallion scene) self-tie bow tie is a nice combination.
Very creative!
I would pair the burgundy petite gingham shirt with the Bhldn Festival Textured Solid tie in black cherry.
I love the red and kelly blue hep medallion ties. I'd probably match them with the Tie Bar's textured solid dress shirt in white or light blue.
Excellent information! Tie bar seems like a great company. Never having owned a chambray shirt, I like the chambray indigo dress shirt paired with the various stripe serene blue tie. Looks like it would pair very well with a well-fitted pair or chinos and some loafers or sneakers.
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
I like the Gingham textured Blue non ironed dress shirt with Linen buds hunter green tie
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.
Awesome Video Man. Thanks for the tips!!! Personally I am thinking of wearing the Purple 'Petite Houndstooth" (Item #S42) with my Navy Suit & Brown Shoes and to top it off I'm thinking of an Orange 'Mini Dots' (Item #32365) Tie 3-inch for work-wear. Thanks again for the info, yet again useful :D.
Perfect !
Great video! Your gauntlet buttons were driving me crazy though lol :)
Hi there sir, could you tell me what a really good quality business shirt brand is please? I buy off the rack, I’ve just bought TML they seem ok.
Nice vidéo. But i am still wondering wich tie to go for when im wearing my red striped white dress shirt..
My question, I have two ties. One is a plain violet that looks silky. The other is a handmade silk tie with navy, black, and bright red coastal native designs. I was gifted this tie for my participation in a potlatch in the elders center. Would these ties be considered casual, formal, or both?
Definitely formal for both ties.
Real Men Real Style Thank you sir. Great video per usual.
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
Noted! Thanks Loic :)
I think the Mini Tattersall shirt in burgundy color would look great with red Institute Stripe tie.
Hey Antonio. I was wondering about wearing a coat on top of a blazer/suitjacket is posible if you Want to look good a Winter ecation?
I thought I filmed it already? Here you go: www.realmenrealstyle.com/style-layer-rules/
I think the Bedford Stripe in Olive Green would work well with the Pinpoint WHite Pointed COllar. Waving from The Bahamas, :)
Awesome awesome awesome. I love this
Again a really helpful video.
very helpful, thanks!
I liked it a lot, good job
