Choosing suit color is easy, but something goes
wrong when we have to match the color of tie with suit. An art is used when we
have to match the color of shirt with tie and this is something which is going
around from many years.
We all are grown up watching movies, sports, and
read many articles related to mens tailored suits. We also have attended football
and basketball games, but we never tried to learn the theory of color matching of all player uniform.
I thing we never show more interest in knowing more about it.
Normally, the closer a layer to body, the easier
to match. We are now layers beneath to
match and contrast against.
In this article, I am going to explain how to
match the shirt color with tie perfectly by using simple methods:
“Color
theory- Matching tie colors to your shirts and suits”
The first thing to match a tie with the shirt is
color. Color choice varies from person to person. Hence, we use color wheel,
which gives us a great combination for understanding color. It is divided into
two parts-warm and cool colors.
Warm colors exhibit vibrancy such as red, orange
and yellow.
While, cooler colors are associated with calm,
relax such as blue, green and purple. The color wheel allows us to harmonize
colors. Harmony is the process of creating a balanced look.
Down here we are going to explain about the
harmony of colors, when we have to wear warm color against the cool color.
The large color wheels are
divided into two parts, warm and cool colors. Using the color wheel, we can
create color schemes which help us to achieve the important concepts of
harmony. Below the list have given which is showing how the lower intensity
color is working in contrast to bolder color schemes.
Monochromatic color scheme:
A monochromatic color scheme is safe and give
more charming look to your personality and can be used from work, to
presentations, meetings and even in more formal occasion like wedding.
This is the easiest and best way to do
experimenting with color and also the most conservative color schemes. A
monochromatic color scheme can match darker variants with lighter variants. For
example, a navy tie wearing with light blue shirt or burgundy tie with pink
shirt. It will allow you to keep in comfort and sophisticated zone, without
losing your comfort zone.
Analogous color scheme:
The next step to make you look trim and smart,
by an analogous color scheme. It is one step bolder than the monochromatic
color scheme. It will allow you to choose the adjacent colors on the color
wheel. An analogous color means wearing tie either of cool or warm colors, will
not introduce harmony, it will not able to provide the sophistication level.
For example, wearing a purple tie or olive
green tie with blue shirt.
Analogous color schemes are soothing to human`s
eye. Hence, they can be wearing at work and in social meetings.
Triadic Color Schemes
A triadic color scheme allows you to choose color
that will form triangle along the color wheel. It maintains a balance between
the warm and cool color. Red, blue, yellow, Orange and purple are the triadic
color. This color schemes involve both warm and cool colors, their contrast is
not strong as complementary color schemes. A triadic color is attractive, and a
great way to introduce color more vibrantly in your wardrobe.
The triadic color is something which has been
experimented by everyone. The red tie looks good with blue shirt, or a mustard
yellow. It is highly professional yet versatile scheme, and can be used at
work, in professional meetings, and in some formal occasions like weddings or
house-warming party.
Complementary colors
The complementary colors are opposite colors across
the color wheel, and they are highly contrasting. Thought blue complementary
color is orange and red complementary color is green and yellow complementary
color is purple. The complementary colors are perfect in explaining the concept
of warm and cool colors. Here we are pairing the warm and cool colors which
offer strong visual contrast, since these colors provide the most pop.
These colors are best suited in social meetings, as
they give bold look and might look inappropriate for the work or in
professional meetings.
