They don't do much for me I'm afraid, I find them just a bit to ubiquitous, however, I can appreciate the appeal if you work in a conservative environment, as they're a step up from the solid blue/white shirt.

I remember I used to disfavor the ol' Brooks blue oxford BD with wide-spaced white stripes.  They no longer make it, but they used to offer that one and the reverse with blue on white.  I sort of like them now that they're gone.

You should be able to see it now, bottom shirt, purple with white stripes.

You are on to something here.  Those shirts are definitely a little more challenging to pair a tie with, but I have had some luck.  They look decent with a knit.  I may try to ape FNB and post some combinations later today, or maybe this weekend when I have more time.  They are not for everybody, which for me, is part of the appeal.

I rarely limit any shirt to wearing with just one theme, but I find that with the two of these shirts I have, I almost always wear a tie in the wine family with white dots and solid or chalk stripe medium to charcoal gray suits.  Both shirts have French blue grounds, one with narrow white stripes at quarter inch intervals and one with broader white stripes at about half inch intervals.  I wear pin dots with the narrow stripes and the chalk stripe suits and polka dots with the wide stipes and solid suits.  It is remarkable how many different colors/patterns in pocket squares work with these combinations, but my favorite is probably a madder print of burgundy/navy/gold paisley on a forest green ground.  Dark brown suede shoes, of course; I especially like plain monks.   And though the shirts don’t say conservative on their own, with the wine ties, a solid charcoal suit, white linen handkerchief (points, please; I hate the TV fold) and black punch cap oxfords I would appear, and have done so, in the most staid of court proceedings.
