I've been told that a lot, but it depends on how you're doing it. So here I'm wearing 3 but you can't see the pin-stripes in the suit. When the jackets buttoned, it works.

Typically, too many patterns can't be distracting and busy, but if you've got a portion of something showing (like the tie when the jackets buttoned) it works. Also, if you show a little cuff, it make it look well matched overall, even if it's the same article of clothing.

When it comes to fashion, I'm no slouch.
