putthison: This outrageous combination is pretty much textbook pattern mixing.  Notice that in the three elements of this outfit (suit, shirt, tie) each part varies - the type (plaid, stripe, graphic), color (tan, blue, red) and scale (small, medium, large).  The essential rule of pattern mixing is not to put like with like, but rather to mix unlike but complimentary elements. Would I wear this combo?  Probably not.  I’d have grabbed a solid shirt.  But is this resonably succesful?  Yes. (photo via) I’d rock it.
