    A good friend of mine who is a bit of a "clothes horse" says that as long as one pattern, like the tattersal, is smaller than the other, then it is quite acceptable. He does with patterned shirts and ties.

    So I don't think a vest is absolutely necessary -- Matt's pictures prove it.

    I completely agree. I particularly find the Carolina tartan picture to work very well.

    And let me just add that I also do agree with Wompet about a waistcoat; a good waistcoat will break up the patterns, but as Matt's picture shows, it's not absolutely necessary, INMHO.

    I just can't stand (on me) plain white dress shirts. I have to have a bit of colour.
