Thanks. I think that this tie will work well with your square.

better?

Shirt and square too matchy. Tie knot doesn't work with that collar - go for a FIH

Not a fan of teh burgundy silk square?

The whole package is iffy not spiffy. I love the shirt. The tie, kinda. The tie reminds me of wedding party tie that's supposed to match the bridesmaids dresses. The pocket square should go bye-bye. I would of chosen a white linen PS with a navy blue or purple edging. The tie I would have chosen a stripe or pattern with either a blue or purple field.

this one is much better, but.....put that windsor knot away! FI teh H! not a fan on the trim on the square, simplify things a bit and use an off-white silk square in a poof.

tough crowd

FIH is too narrow. A compromise would be a half-Windsor.

 

[SkinnyGoomba]

doubtful, that tie seems pretty hefty, i bet it ties a significant FIH.

Windsors look OK with a slimmer tie, tied very tightly. Which i rarely see, much more often i see them tied the size of a baseball.

last try to become SF-apprved

how's this...

a different attempt i thought would work....dark brown/ subtle lavendar paisley. brown in this photo pops alot while lavendar is too subdued...much more balanced colors in the flesh i think this would work well with a nice walnut colored shoe

btw guys remember...my only reservation was how to make this shirt work - and i think you guys helped me accomplish it!

 

[SkinnyGoomba]

yeah man, i like the first two pics!!!

not in love with the second combo, but i think it works.

 

[emmanuel]

You can go with either one but I like the brown paisley because the color comes out of no where.

People coming here for a good sartorial bashing are fascinating me..
Most of you are able to get a decent combo ,as the latter guy did , but you still need the approval of others...
Strange....I didn't like the paisley tie..
