Today, we are launching a new series: The Shirt of the Week. Along with a new feature entitled The Suit of the Week (which will start off on Saturday), the aim is to provide you with a suggestion for a coordinated outfit. So please let me introduce you to our first recommendation: a lilac shirt from Thomas Mason.

There are dozens of lilac shirts from Mason’s to choose from. The one we have gone for features a Prince of Wales check and is cut from Zephir. The pattern is subtle and looks absolutely smashing when paired with a solid charcoal grey (remember: Saturday)!

This shirt also gives you a wide range of tie options. Dark purple, navy blue, and green would all look amazing. You could even choose a charcoal-based tie. Both a boldly patterned or a spotted tie (which is a personal favourite) would look very elegant. I’m not a fan of mixing patterns – a striped tie with a checked shirt is not exactly my cup of tea. Nevertheless, you pattern mixers out there can definitely have a go at it!

I recently wore a lilac coloured shirt with a navy blue suit. No doubt, it looked quite good! However, in my humble opinion, the classic combination is lilac and charcoal grey. You’ll love this look!
