When it comes to elevating a clothing ensemble, prints and patterns are a classic choice for menswear. Whether dotted, striped, plaid, or more, a sport coat or shirt or aptly-placed accessories can make a stylish statement. Here, models outfitted by local retailers showcase sophisticated outfits featuring expertly paired prints and patterns.

This ensemble expertly combines both patterns and colors. Dr. Dizon’s plaid sport coat pairs nicely with navy dress pants, and his crisp white shirt provides the perfect background for a striped rust tie to pop. Additional warm accents include a pocket square and leather shoes, tying this sophisticated look together.
