The Dark Knot Tip: If you are mixing pattern types, polka dot ties and abstracts that are more widely spaced apart will sit well against a narrowly striped shirt. Conversely, smaller motifs such as animal motif prints or more intricate abstract patterns will pair up better with a wider striped shirt. With slightly more experience, you will be able to see that varying the proportion of the pattern makes a significant difference in your ensembles overall aesthetic. By wearing a wider spaced tie, such as polka dot or geometric foulard silk tie, against a finely striped shirt, you will be able to see a discernable difference in how the tie stands out, versus say a small intricate abstract design against a narrowly striped shirt, even if the color coordination has been spot on
