Best shirt/tie combination for khaki linen suit at graduation

[TRA8324]

I'll be attending my girlfriend's graduation next month. It's outdoors on a Friday morning. I plan on wearing the linen suit pictured below. My question is what shirt/tie combination would look best with this? It's an outdoor graduation in downtown Nashville so I can go a little bold.

Combinations i've thought of so far:

-blue gingham w/navy knit tie. Not sure what color blue to go with though. Either light blue or medium-blue.
-white or blue OCBD w/seersucker tie
-white or blue ocbd w/ gingham tie...would blue be the best color?

I have a khaki linen suit just like that....id go for a white or blue shirt with the navy knit...looks really good.

Good to see another nashville fella on here.

Seersucker tie with either the blue or white OCBD sounds good. What colour & style seersucker did you have in mind?

Hells yeah.

That seems like a classic look and it's the easiest since I already have the knit tie.

Would be one from the tie bar...probably blue. maybe lavender or pink.

theres a local tie maker here in nashville that has some pretty badass seersucker and gingham ties.

I like the idea of a gingham shirt.

I think i'm leaning towards the medium-blue if I go gingham.

Looks good to me. Pink or purple would be good too if you are into that.

to be honest I dont know where they sell at... Ive met her a few times and she showed me some of her new spring run.....Ill see if i can find the info and shoot ya a PM.

lots of options... Navy seems traditional, personally I like brown with a bit of pattern, and red or orange are also nice... some examples: throw in a tie clip or some accessory?

add a little texture?

with stripes

Seeing red?

and who could forget, the muther fukin pimp daddy yfyf?

Nii's brown polka dot tie is the ****. Ive been looking for one like that for ages.

 

[Master-Classter]

^^^ agreed. I like Phatty's too but I think it's not that easy to match. Spoo's is a good second IMO.

those chocolate brown examples look awesome...thanks!

I'm also digging the purple gingham/navy tie in the last example.
