Making the fishbone pattern work

One of the most stylish patterns out there is the fishbone. While it may look dull at first glance, it works wonders if you know HOW to match it.

I remember about a year ago I bought my dad a fantastinc fishbone sports jacket. He's a middle-aged man and loved my gift.

I was so excited with the purchase that I went back to that store to get one for myself.

Surprise! They were OUT. That was the *old collection*, they told me.

If you ever find a fishbone paterned sports coat or overcoat, here's what I want you to do.

First, try it on! If it's a little bigger, no problem. Buy it, then take i to the tailor for adjustments.

Second, use my tips for making it the fishbone pattern work. Fishbone consists entirely of grey and black so his means you have to use other colors to stand out.

If you're wearing a fishbone blazer, try a brown turtleneck or a brown V-neck sweater + a white shirt.

Another color to try with fishbone is dark-blue. Get a simple turtleneck in his color, then maybe some white chinos and a blue bracelet.

Here's the thing: white, black and grey are neutral. THis means you can match them with pretty much ANY color you want.

For instance, go for a solid yellow V-neck and a white shirt. Finish the look with a grey pair of chinos and a black and white sneaker. Add a white pocket square and you're THE MAN.
