so does this shirt look weird with a black suit? Mine is actually french blue. What color combinations do you like with shirts/ties

Migs · « **Reply #1 on:** March 23, 2011, 06:55:39 PM »

how about these ties. Not with the previous shirt though

tonymctones · « **Reply #2 on:** March 23, 2011, 07:08:37 PM »

not a broad but have plenty of experience with ties and matching.

I think that shirt and tie combo would go good with a dark blue suit more so than black...like the dark blue in the tie blue or even darker.

I never have good luck with matching odd color ties, they always look good in the store and then I get home and go "why did i buy this?"

I think you could pull the green one of with a white shirt

just out of curiosity what kind of knot do you use for your tie?

Migs · « **Reply #3 on:** March 23, 2011, 07:11:57 PM »

Mostly use the four-in-hand knot. At times I use the half windsor, depending on the collar spread.

I changed the title for ya, and to manke it more gender friendly

I do like this, though. I googled french blue and it seems deeper than this...is that right? Or is yours lighter?

Whatever you choose, if it fits well and is crisply pressed and clean, it should be fine

Butterbean · « **Reply #7 on:** March 23, 2011, 07:22:51 PM »

hahahah thanks.

kewl I generally use a full windsor even with collars that arent spread these days, I just synch it up real tight is its a regular collar.

crappy though b/c you have to buy the longer ties which cost more...

I agree with this, fit is just as important as color. Nothing like good fitting clothes to put the extra pep in your step(no homo) LOL

I do have something like this.

I like full windsor but yeah not looking for extra long ties. I alway shave heavily starched dress shirts.

NEVER, EVER, under any circumstances ask a woman's opinion on such topics...it's like asking a Sewer Worker on whehter or not to get your tonsils removed...while said sewer worker is looking at mountains of cockroaches...

That shirt is is good with a black or dark blue suit. Also you can wear a read, blue, and black striped tie, or a bright yellow with blue in it (whether striped or patterned--blue being the pattern), the goal is to have the yellow or bright color catch the eye and add color to the rather somber colored suit, and the blue to highlight the shirt....

Is it for work then yes,if not then it would look better with a lighter color like beige
