Using a paisley tie in business without the pattern looking out of place

The tie around his chest is a large paisley pattern. When pairing this type of color and pattern with a navy suit, the chest area tends to stand out, so it's common to try pairing it with a suit that has a more prominent pattern, such as a wide chalk stripe. However, patterned suits can make you look intimidating, making them somewhat difficult to wear in the office. People tend to avoid them. As a result, people don't buy flashy ties, and even if they receive them as gifts, they end up gathering dust in their closets.

However, Mr. Shimoyama's tie blends well with his dark suit. The reason is that the suit has brown chalk stripes that match the tone of the base color. The beige pattern of the tie, which also appears gold, responds well to the suit, preventing the tie from looking out of place. A tone-on-tone striped suit can sometimes look almost solid, but this kind of "solid from a distance" is the essence of sophistication. This should be a good strategy for anyone who wants to try a patterned tie.



Another key point is choosing the brand "De Petrillo." This popular brand, based in Naples, is supported for its ability to deliver the taste of "Neapolitan tailoring" at a reasonable price by replacing the heavily handcrafted tailoring techniques with machine work. Its light feel, natural fit, and effortless shape set it apart from British-style armored suits. That's why a casually styled look, such as deliberately shifting the narrow end of the tie, looks perfectly natural and stylish.
