His beautiful ties always...

Hi

Are these sentences natural? Any suggestions please?

  1. His beautiful ties always uplifted his plain shirts.
  2. His beautiful ties always enlivened his plain shirts.
  3. His beautiful ties always accentuated his plain shirts.
  4. His beautiful ties always gave boost to his plain shirts.
  5. His beautiful ties always gingered up his plain shirts.

Thanks,

Tom
