Would this tie work with a dark navy nailhead suit and light blue shirt?  Or would a white shirt be better?

I am drooling over the tie and want to make sure this ensemble will work before I pull the trigger.

Which tie goes better with a navy suit and light blue shirt or striped blue and white shirt?

Would this pocket square work with the burgundy tie or should i go with all white linen?

Is this tie knot too big?

I don't think it's necessarily too big, but a dimple would help make it look less monolithic.

Hello, I am in need of a new suit! I want something classic, yet versatile. I have a budget of 500 dollars for this, though I would prefer to keep it lower. I am 5'10" and 145 pounds so I am rather slim. I have looked into suit supply but I would like to see what my other options are! Thank you Ahead of time!

I would probably suggest looking at the sales on Gilt.com

it's probably the best place to get a quality suit for the price range you want.

For that range you could go to Macy's, Men's Warehouse, or Joseph Bank. But I don't suggest their suits.

Suitsupply is your best option. You might go just a few dollars over the $500 budget to spend on tailoring. For the quality/price, Suitsuppy is hard to beat.

I wouldn't suggest Gilt because most of what they have is garbage, with a few exceptions.

This is a beautiful tie.  It would work with a dark navy nailhead suit assuming that the light blue shirt is a solid shirt, otherwise it might look too cluttered.  I dont think you need a white shirt (even though that choice would also work).  Adding a rust colored tie to a dark navy suit with a lighter shade of blue shirt would look fantastic in my opinion.  Good choice!

I would go with the Kent Wang tie. Given that you already have two layers with blue (suit and shirt), you are better off wearing a contrasting color such as burgundy.  Additionally, the solid color of the burgundy can work with both a solid and striped shirt, whereas its would be harder to pull off for the Sam Hober tie as you would have stripes on stripes (unless the suit is a solid).

The Kent Wang grenadine burgundy tie looks great - definetely go with that one!
