What color shirt should I wear with a navy blue suit with light blue pinstripes?

Question

I love this suit - it's Kenneth Cole and it's cut perfectly. But it's light blue pinstriping on navy. I can't figure out what color shirt to wear with it except white. And that get's dang boring. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Light blue, light pink or light yellow. Stay in the pastels..

Answer 2

Get a shirt to match the light blue pinstriping

Answer 3

A pale blue shirt would work very well and would bring out the pinstriping in the suit. It would be better than white actually.

Answer 4

I'd try something like this: http://dress-shirt.com/cuff-shirts.htm in the baby blue color. You'll pull out the light blue pin stripes and the contrast of the white collar and cuffs looks sharp.

Answer 5

The lavender shirt is a big risk. That is the type of attire you wear when you have made your self valuable to the company, Then they do not care what color your shirt is. For now the safest and best color for that suit and that type of position is white.

Answer 6

Lime green, a/k/a chartreuse. Stunning!

Peach/orange would make a great statement as well because blue and orange are opposites on the color wheel.

Happy fashion!

Answer 7

Try darker reds, perhaps black.

I wouldn't worry about the shirt as much as the tie though. There the options get far more entertaining (stripes, patterns, solids, etc.)

Answer 8

White will actually look the best, expecially if you pair the shirt with a deep red (brick-colored) tie. You'll look fabulous!!

Answer 9

Try a steel gray color (think dark silver), bet it would look very sharp and not "dang boring" at all!

Answer 10

Yellow.
