It depends--to a large extent--on the rest of your outfit. What color jacket will you wear with it? What color trousers? For example, I have an aqua jacket with an orange windowpane that I sometimes pair up with a paler aqua shirt. I usually try to pick up the orange windowpane in the jacket with my ties. I have several in orange-rust tones. If you plan to wear the shirt with a navy blazer, a dark blue tie of some sort might work well. However, if you wear the shirt with, say, a tan jacket, I'd look for something in the brown range for the tie.

Edit: Are you a Canadian wild pig? Somehow, I never thought I'd see Pierre Trudeau as an avatar on this forum, even though he did know how to dress!

I am a Canadian wild pig, yes. As for the trousers, I will wear black trousers. No jacket. Thanks for the replies, guys. This forum rules!
