Graph Suits

The quietest check there is

A graph check is exactly what the name suggests: a fine, even grid of thin lines across the cloth, closely spaced, resembling graph paper. It is the most restrained member of the check family and the easiest to wear.

Varrison graph check suits are cut in a tailored fit and arrive ready to wear, made from high quality fabric.

Why it works

Most checks force a decision about formality. A graph check does not, because the grid is fine enough that the suit reads as near solid across a room and only reveals itself at conversational distance. You get the visual interest of a pattern without the commitment of one.

That makes it a strong choice for men who want a second business suit that is not simply a repeat of the first, and who do not want to explain their suit to anyone.

Wearing it

Treat it as a near solid. Solid shirts are the cleanest pairing, and a solid or subtly textured tie completes it. Avoid shirts with a fine check of their own, since two similar grids at close range create visual noise. Black shoes with darker grounds, brown with lighter ones.
