White space in a paisley design can really make the shirt look a lot more bold. Furthermore, this opens up the wearer to construct an outfit more easily with the white base, as white can be worn with a wider variety of other colours. Paisley can look really stylish when in a combination. Perhaps try syncing with a tie or jacket, or for something less bold, simply a handkerchief. This can elevate the outfit subtly without being too daring.
