On Style: Shirt Patterns...

This is a bit of a cop-out, but I am deadly serious when I say;

DON’T BOTHER!

A white shirt is the canvas upon which your artistry can be wrought. You can’t where a paisley shirt and a tie without looking like some kind of Gekko reject, and if you team it with jeans you’re instantly a 45 year old dad who listens to Pink Floyd whilst talking loudly about his new Porsche/penis extension/injection of vitality at a barbeque.

DON’T DO IT

Simplicity and elegance are keys. Finely cut clothes outpunch flashy one any day. Go for understated smoothness and leave the patterns to the schmucks. You fancy a faint pinstripe for the office? Fine. But don’t dabble outside of work unless the pattern is angular, the same colour as the shirt and subtle as a breeze.
