MEN IN BLUE-BEST COMBINATIONS OF BLUE SUIT SHIRT, SHOES & TIE
Hi folks, the good news out here is that any shirt color will work with a blue suit, with the exception of may be mustard yellow or green. However practical speaking, any other color will sync with a blue suit. So here are my favorite colors that go with a blue suit: light blue, white, pink and most definitely black. Polka dots are fine as small subtle stripes. Please leave the large stripes to lawyers and bankers!
Blue Shirt + Blue Suit:
Here’s a winning suit and shirt combo: blue shirt plus blue suit. It maintains the tones cool and harmonizing, and allows you to be playful with your pocket square. ‘Go wild’, should I say. The rule is pretty much simple: choose cufflinks for events that are more formal in nature and buttons for the workplace. If it’s for a formal event, then choose a dark navy blue shirt.

Pink Shirt + Blue Suit:
Did I tell you that real men wear pink? And rightly so, the pink color favors the bold who likes to make a daring statement every time. But there is a caveat here: Too much bright a blue suit or pink shirt can be too showy. Give a complete look with a blue or purple tie. If you feel you don’t need a pinkish pocket square, be a little creative by opting for a blue color.

Black Shirt + Blue Suit:
It is an evening party, and you’ve decided to wear something that can ooze confidence and instill a sense of pride, then go for a combo of a black shirt and navy blue suit. The analogy here is James Bond doing a cocktail party. The combination works like a charm with black or dark grey shirts with darker or navy tones of blue suits. It’s a recommended option than lighter and brighter blue suits.

Best ties to wear with a blue suit:
Polka dots, texture, stripes or simply plain tie will go well with a blue suit. The challenge lies in finding the best color match that goes with the fabric and texture of your suit. If you’re looking for a boisterous shirt and tie combo, then make sure your suit is plain. If yours is a loud suit, then choose fewer bright colors/patterns or patterns on the tie.

Blue Suit + Blue Tie:
This combo spells elegance and class. Blue on blue is always a ‘champion’ look. I recommend that you choose a tie having heavy texture as it will differentiate the blue tie and blue suit, providing you an exciting look. There can be no count of the people who’d have either commented or loved the texture of the tie!

Blue Suit + Burgundy/Red/Pink Ties:
To make things simple, we’re categorizing the ‘reds’ into a single category including salmon, brown and coral. This implies that red tie syncs well with a blue suit compared to any other color. Donald Trump too sported a red tie blue suit combo look more often than not. It is called the ‘power look’. You wear pride in your sleeve in the workplace; however, if you are looking for a touch more laidback and discreet, then my recommendation includes brown, burgundy or pink.

Blue Suit + Black/Grey Tie:
The blue suit accessorized with a black tie may be short of creativity but the combo lends a classic look that is far more professional. In certain cases where your blue suit stands out, the black tie can be a terrific combo. On the other hand, a blue suit and grey tie combo is highly recommended with grenadine or textured ties. The texture would subtly attract attention to your dressing without requiring bold color or stripes.
Blue Suit + Brown/Black Shoes:
Black or brown shoes? Honestly, there can be no one right answer to this. I prefer brown over black if the suit you choose features a lighter color. If your suit is navy blue or dark, then going for a pair of black or dark brown shoes is advisable. Monk straps, brogues, loafers or oxford are the choicest of styles. Make sure they are polished to shine, and features a well-rounded shape.
