How to match a men's blue suit?

Pairing your shirt with a blue suit

Pairing the right shirt with your suit is crucial to a harmonious outfit. Here is our advice:

Classic plain shirts

For a chic, understated look, nothing beats a plain shirt, white or sky-blue. Sky-blue brings a softer, less contrasting touch while staying elegant, whereas the classic white shirt adds a little more contrast. A plain shirt is ideal if your suit already has some texture.

A touch of colour

Although blue pairs with plenty of colours, we recommend wearing your suit with a beige shirt to create a dynamic outfit. As blue’s complementary colour, beige adds personality while remaining a soft, understated shade.

Patterned shirts

If your suit has a smooth finish or a solid colour, patterns - such as stripes or checks - are an ideal way to add texture and a refined contrast. If you want to add patterns to an already textured suit, opt for discreet micro-patterns to add detail without overloading. A dobby shirt could be perfect, bringing a chic, polished style.

When to wear a blue suit

At the office

Pair your blue suit with a plain shirt in white or blue for a professional look without overdoing it. The versatility of blue lets you stay elegant while bringing a touch of restraint.

Ceremonies and festive occasions

A midnight-blue suit is the perfect alternative to black for events such as weddings. It’s chic without being austere. You can allow yourself more flair in your choice of accessories depending on the event, unlike a professional setting where restraint is the rule.

Romantic dinners

Blue gives an impression of confidence. To keep a natural assurance, stay true to your personality. Mix in touches of colour or patterns if you like bolder looks, or keep it very understated with a white shirt if you’re less outgoing.
