Suit ≠ Suit™ PM M. Rutte
It seems that our prime Minister has a strong preference for his baby blue tie. Keeping in mind that the face is the destination to which one’s attire should escort the beholders attention, then this is not the best choice.
In the left picture he wears a combination of a dark frame (suit) combined with a white shirt and a light blue tie. The issue with this assembly is the fact that in combination with his skin and hair complexion there is not enough contrast. Due to this the eye of the beholder is not aimed at the face but to the garment(s).
A better combination of colors is the right picture. The color of the suit is closer to his own complexion as the shirt is also. A ground rule is that the ensemble should exhibit the same degree of contrast manifested by one’s skin and hair tones. The tie is actually a very good choice since it matches with his hair tone. The combination off all leads to a more clear presentation of his person (his face) and by that his whole ensemble assists in his representation.
