Tie

[martint235]

So despite the fact that many of us on here spend a lot of time in lycra or thinking about being in lycra, there are still some who have not lost the art of sartorial elegance.

So. I have a very nice shirt, expensive, smart. However it is blue and white striped. That means I am struggling to find a tie that makes the ensemble continue to look smart, expensive. I do have a wool, maroon tie that I bought in an old fashioned tailor's shop in Clitheroe a few years ago (think Mr Benn).

Would this tie in the opinion of the jury "match"?

What colour suit are you wearing it with?

Dark grey. I only have two colours of suit: dark blue and dark grey. The dark blue suits are always worn with a white shirt and dark red tie in homage to the IBM of the 80's

Depending on the shade of blue stripe, how about a sky blue silk tie?

Trying to avoid buying a new tie if I can. I've got loads but they are all designed for wearing with a plain shirt, for example I have two sky blue silk ties but they have different circular patterns on that I don't think would go with the stripes.

Red. Non-shiny silk.

Indeed. We need the visual evidence

Perfect IMO. The wool maroon one will make you look like a farmer.

A splash of colour is always good. It shows that you are not a member of some fusty club.

My GF works in fashion and is really stylish (eek what is she doing with Go Outdoors Man!). She bought me some really nice shirts inc a Paul Smith one with bicycles on it. How cool is that.
