The man in the photo is the relatively recently departed Keith Floyd, a flamboyantly dressed British celebrity chef and television personality known for his wit as well as a presenting style that included frequent consumption of a variety of alcoholic beverages.
I have written before about the effectiveness of analagous color schemes (those comprised of colors that are adjacent to each other on a color wheel) and here Mr Floyd illustrates one of my favorite pairings of blue and purple silks.
Purple and blue accessories are slightly unexpected so they contribute to the air of casualness that should always be about a man's dress. The combination works well with tan as well as gray jackets, as illustrated by Mr. Floyd, and the lighter shades are equally pleasant with navy.
The fish is unnecessary.

Sorry to go off topic but I read somewhere about a fabric sale in London in April and forgot to take a note of the details. Inevitably I'm now struggling to find where I read it but I think it was this site. Could you jog my memory or am I just going mad? Many Thanks!
What purple? As far as I can see, he has a light blue shirt and a darker blue polka-dot scarf...?
Look at his bow tie.
check out his book Floyd on France then cook the apple pie recipe
Mr Floyd died about a year ago.Its important to know this as an article about him being alive could cause distress to his family
The "relatively recently departed" doesn't do it for you? He died last autumn.
