I would skip the pink shirt. I would also reconsider the tie - that spacing on the stripes is somewhat close to the spacing of the window pane. Going with a solid or smaller patterned tie seems safer

Much obliged, thank you.

Wool ties are generally pretty informal to begin with, most are about as informal as you can get while still wearing a tie, so you're already bottomed out on that metric.

cptjeff,
Ah...I thought they were appropriate for conservative business dress. Can you tell me where I can get awesome "neats" (ties) for under $40? I always see nicely, dense-patterned ties on HOF and wonder where I can get them and on the cheap. Also, what is the proper/formal name for "neats"? Macclesfield ties?

 

[thefastlife]

those remind me of e. marinella ties ^^

The first two pics are, yup yup.

Do you or does anyone else know where I can get ties that are patterned like those ones for <$40?

Check Chipp and The Knottery

Also, I've found that vintage Ferrell Reed and Bert Pulitzer ties are great sources for neats. Brooks Brothers on sale might meet your needs as well.

If I were you, I'd hit a thrift shop or etsy and see what you can find.

Thank you, Koala. What should I run in my searches? As mentioned above, I don't know what the proper term is. Do you have a few examples?

 

[Koala-T]

"Neats" "Foulard" "Ancient Madder" ties

Or just search those brands. Maybe add in Liberty of London. Brooks Brothers. and narrow by accessories.

Thanks, I did look up the links you provided but noticed none of them look quite as good as the marinella ties. Are there no other makers of those patterns?

I actually like the Chipp ties quite a lot, though I'm betting the texture of the Marinella ties is better. The answer is not at your price point. Not unless you thrift.

Do the Chipp ties rotate seasonally? The website seems to have a small selection.

Edit: does anyone know who Jeter got his tuxedo from? I wish he'd pull his pants up but it looks great other than that, seriously.

Is this diamond style?

 

[pnewelljr]

I want to buy a single black bow tie to use for formal occasions. I prefer the diamond shape, I like the look the most, but I am worried it will look out of place in formal situations? Would I be okay wearing this style as a mid 20s guy?
