White Dress Shirt
Solid Navy V Neck Merino Sweater
Charcoal Slacks
Black Shoes

What would you say the most classical tie for this attire would be? I usually wear a more muted pallette, so I was thinking just a grey tie to go with the slacks. Though since I'll be wearing this to present in a relaxed enviroment I thought perhaps a red tie would offer a good contrast and show a little more confidence in my attire

Any thoughts and suggestions on a specific hue or pattern for the tie as well? Pictures are always welcome along with description.

Thanks Mates!

Literally, any tie in the universe would look good with that combination.

That outfit isn't anything special so yeah, your options are pretty limitless.

If you want to wear a tie with silly cartoon characters on it that's up to you.
