Can the above tie be worn with a plain white shirt and a navy pin/chalk stripe suit? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Rule of thumb is that when wearing two patterns of the same type, keep the size or scale of the patterns different. If the suit stripes are notably wider or narrower than the stripe of the tie, you should be okay.

Yes I've seen it done many times and it looks great, very classically English.

 

[Orsini]

Yes.

If the patterns are too close. you will know it. Hurts your eyes.

Step into any club in St James' and this is almost standard attire.

 

[David Reeves]

Of course you can.

 

[Steve Smith]

Yes. It is a great look.

would go well with a suit whose stripes are about a fingers length away from each other.
