We are talking mainly shirts here?

Picture 1: perfect for a shirt.
Picture 2: smaller check and less loud is a fine option, light blue works well for a shirt.
Picture 3: for a shirt, in pale colours fine, particularly khaki.Herringbone in tweed can look great for a jacket.
picture 4: small pale blue works well for shirts and tweed houndstooth is a classic jacket pattern.
Picture 5:for a shirt? No. For a jacket? No. For a sweater? Perhaps. For hose? If you must.

Just so you know, in UK terms a "dress" shirt is worn with "dress"(formal evening) attire , for example, a PC. Everything else is just a shirt.

Thanks Jock! Very interesting indeed. I knew of the UK terminology for dress shirts and just "shirts". It can be the same here in the States, yet sometimes it depends on the manufacturer of the shirt-i.e.-Brooks Brothers has dress shirts (or simply "shirts" in the UK) as well as formal dress shirts strictly for tuxedo wear, Highland evening attire, etc. It's all superfluous I suppose!
