Patterns
Skip the worn-out, tone-on-tone look when putting on a suit and tie. Try mixing your patterns by accenting your suit with a striped shirt and solid tie.
And as you may well know, lighter colors and patterns usually hide flakes better than dark solids.
Blended, natural fabrics that breathe can keep irritation to a minimum by reducing chafing.
It's also a good idea to wear a cotton tee shirt under your dress shirt or sweater or ves to keep moisture away from your skin.
Hint: To make two different patterns work well together, make sure they're the same size (for example, big plaids with big stripes, small plaids with small stripes.)
But if you're wearing two striped items, make sure the stripes are varied in size (some thick, some thicker).
Here's a fashion cheat sheet:
Bigger, bolder patterns make you look bigger.
Horizontal patterns make you look wider.
Vertical patterns make you look taller and thinner.
Trouser cuffs make short legs look shorter.
