Wearing Light-Colored Ties - Page 4

In all those cases, though, I think I'd prefer a dark brown tie.

I like Cucinelli's muted palette more than some here, but the above is too muted for me.

^Not too dark. A touch darker than the jacket would work best, IMO. A light brown rather than a tan.

Jah, can see that. Depends on the color of the trouser, partly. If it's a suit, or if the palette is very muted, shouldn't go too dark.

Holdfast, I think that would look great with a wool tie or a slubby shantung or a knit silk tie, all in dark tan or light brown.

Maybe on Jay Gatsby but anyone else...

I just cannot get behind this. It is too reminiscent of a '70s prom outfit.

^ That is very well done.

It's photographed beautifully, anyway. Lose the moody lighting, the handsome model and the lovely coat and what's left is quite common -- a yellow tie, blue shirt and dark gray suit. It's a pairing that doesn't do much for me. Having the coat there really elevates the look ... but what about when the overcoat comes off?

It's a good example of how stuff that looks good in a mag or fashion blog doesn't always translate into real life.

I don't care for the ps in the overcoat breast pocket. Looks silly to my eye.

I love that shade of bluey-green in the overcoat. At the risk of sounding incredibly effeminate, I think it works great for this guy's complexion.

I like that teal coat. too. I think if it were navy or gray, the photo would lose much of its punch.

 Not digging the PS, it looks too much like a tie... but I like the colours.
