Recently, I took a poke at Dave Hall, and a couple of fashion choices that he made on-camera at Fox 5 News which were a definite "no no".

But, when a high-profile television personality gets it "right", I am also inclined to give an approving nod, too.
For example, today when I switched on the morning news, I was quite delighted to catch sight of Mr. Hall in a truly dapper "look" that suited the anchorman to a "t".
Hall was sporting an elegant black suit, teamed with a plain fancy-dress shirt, and a patterned tie that echoed the colors throughout the chic ensemble.
The mixing-and-matching would have been tough for even an expert stylist to pull off, but the charismatic newsie threw together a tasteful outfit with deft aplomb.
A rule of thumb?
If a gent is inclined to don a dress shirt with a stripe or check pattern, it is best to team it with a solid tie in complementing colors, on a dark (or light) silhouette (suit, sport coat & slacks, etc.) that match up admirably.
A savvy dude may get away with a patterned-tie on a patterned shirt - but, even for the most adventurous stud - it tends to be a tricky proposition.
Unless, the stylish man-about-town is going for controlled clashing (deliberate competing patterns), which is rarely accomplished successfully without the expert advice of a top fashion designer or stylist.
A parting tip?
A conservative approach is usually the best road to travel down in business (in the Corporate environment, for instance), for on-camera newsmen, and politicians (the right-colored tie will instill confidence in the voters and viewers at home around the country).
Oh, by the way, try to refrain from smelling like soap (old spice, too) in addition to avoiding gaudy over-the-top jewellery.
A simple understated watch or wedding band is best.
