While I have done a lot of posts about blending patterns some times a solid ensemble can be impactful. Most of the time it feels like a guy is just putting in little effort when wearing a solid tie and shirt. But with the mixture of color and texture blending, it can work pretty well. I tried that here with mixing some colors that pair very well together. Dark green with light blue and dark green with grey. I built this from the CT blue Oxford basket weave shirt. Added a medium grey MTM Oct 1995 suit (technically not completely solid since it has ghosted windowpane) then chose the green CT grenadine tie. Not only were the colors harmonized but the texture of the shirt and texture of the tie added some depth to the otherwise simple color scheme. Accessorized with Pantherella socks, and my 1982 Alden shell tassels and my late 1940s Ernest Borel watch off to church I went.
