A plain suit can be styled with a patterned V-zone and pocket square for a playful look.

When pairing a patterned suit with either a shirt or tie, you typically choose one solid color. However, with a solid-colored suit, you can be more adventurous. That is, you can enjoy creating a patterned V-zone by mixing and matching patterns. However, make sure the shirt and tie patterns are mismatched. For a striped shirt, it's a safe bet to pair it with a patterned tie such as polka dots or a small pattern. For example, Mr. Oguro has skillfully expressed his individuality by choosing a vintage-style small-patterned tie with a narrow-striped shirt. Mr. Oguro used to prefer brightly colored and patterned jackets, but recently, as his position has risen, he has started to aim for a more mature style. So, while the base is a simple navy suit, he practices a playful dress style by using bright and unique colors and patterns in the V-zone. You can see a glimpse of this in his orange pocket square.
