...to go with this shirt/suit combo? Note that the shirt is a very faint pink, and the suit is a medium grey w/ brown accents.

[anxiety solved]


This is the combo with a purple/pink tie....doesn't look quite right to me... [there's no red/pink in the suit as it appears in the picture]



Thanks!

I think navy grenadine would look good.

Yayo - seriously, you have a close version of a "gray suit and white shirt" to which nearly any tie in the universe will "go". The colors are subtle so don't go for flash. Stay away from bright yellow and focus on pink, quiet reds, and purples. Blue and green are friends. The right brown and tan will work ( as will faded yellow). Don't think, don't seek perfection and drown in sartobabble. Just put a tie on and go out for the day.
