Actually, I think I'd go with a solid shirt with a striped jacket. It may be OK from a distance, but up close it looks jarring to my eye. Where is the jacket from. I like it.

The stripes of the sport coat and the shirt are way too similar in size/style for my tastes. But if you HAVE to go with one of these shirts, I'd take the blue one.

+1 on going with a solid shirt.

Red looks better - the look is too monochrome otherwise.

Yeah, I was gonna pick a solid but they're all at the laundry, so I'll have to go with a striped. The jacket's from RL, Polo line.

I have to agree with so many stripes it looks too busy.

Changed my mind, I'm going with a solid polo shirt instead, it's a bit more casual.

That color goes really well with the jacket, to me atleast.

Edit: Actually, mine is a bit darker than the one in the picture.

I prefer the&quot; ton sur ton effect&quot; of the different blues all together
