A checked tie is great for any occasion. This Tie Pattern is a great choice for work or play. Checked neckties are not as loud as some other patterns, like paisley. It is a clean cut design that adds interest to a solid suit and shirt, but is not overly busy or distracting.
Many men choose to wear the checked necktie to work. After heading out from work for a drink, or perhaps dinner, the strong lines of the tie will make you stand out as fashionable and stylish, without pushing your image over the edge. Checks and plaids are a fashion statement this spring and summer and if you were not in to wearing a plaid shirt or suite, adding a checked tie would do the job.
The pattern is professional, but casual enough to leave the workplace with you and will make a valuable, and frequently used addition to your wardrobe and makes it more interesting and modern.

In order to wear your patterned tie with confidence, you have to match it properly with your shirt and suit. The general rule with patterned ties is that a plain, white shirt is always your safest bet, because it goes with everything.

BUT… if you want to push the boundaries and be dashing and daring, then a solid colored shirt can make you stand out and look great.

Pick a subtle color from the tie, say light blue lines on a checked necktie with a brown background, and pair the tie with a light blue shirt. The layers of color will meld together seamlessly, and will make you look coordinated without being overly matched.

A check tie can also go with a checked shirt; the only rule is to make sure that the pattern on your shirt is much smaller and subtler than the pattern on your tie. Wear a solid colored suit with this tie pattern; you don't want to look too busy.

It’s OK to mix some patterns, checks with stripes, stripes with stripes, etc., but it might make dressing a little difficult for those of you guys who don’t like to spend more than 3 minutes getting dressed.

Some people can carry off a sophisticated mix instinctively, others not so much. A general rule is that when patterns are involved, one of the three pieces, suit, shirt and tie, should be solid or plain. A great dresser could wear a striped suit, a striped shirt and a polka-dot tie with absolute perfection, but also, no one ever looked bad because he wore too many solids, unless its all monochromatic, then that’s a whole different story.

If you wear stripes with stripes or checks with checks, you should have a difference in amplitude. A pinstriped shirt is better with a chalk-striped suit than with a pinstriped suit; a big check would complement a small check.

If you’re going to knot up, you might as well try something new. Right?

Pick a tie made out of silk or cotton; the patterns come in a variety of sizes—the larger the check, the bolder the statement. Pair a mini check with a white, light blue, or pale pink shirt for an elegant look, or try a larger check with a fine-line striped shirt for a more dandified vibe. You can go with a khaki suit, or you can opt for a dark suit—as Justin Timberlake did on the March issue cover of GQ. Just check out a checked tie and make your own style statement.
