I'm no expert but I'm going to say no and predict a chorus of negativity.

No need to be sorry - I appreciate the feedback. I actually don't like the tie either, but it was a gift, and I'm trying to make it work... This was my last ditch effort.

I think it can work!
Maybe not day to day, but definitely for an event or to a business meeting etc. Just make sure the tie isn't too wide!

Never been a big fan of large paisley patterns, also that shirt and tie do not like each other at all.

At the very least try it with a solid shirt, and maybe something tweedy or flannel. The tie seems shiny though...hopefully that's just the pic. Paisley shiny = bad. Paisley matte = good.

the tie is wearable, but not in the busy combo you have there.

pair it with a plain shirt and you should be fine.

It doesn't work for my taste. I'm all for subtle and solids prints when it comes to ties.
