Almost too gaudy for words. Matching colours like those are just the mark of crassness in male clothing.

You can play it safe or make a statement with more advanced colour association...tie is too busy
The first combo was fine....
The paisley tie is too busy for my liking.

Ha - you can't win Spaniard. You're either too subdued or too "crass"! FWIW I don't think there's anything cardinally wrong with any of those outfits. And I'm not going to nit-pick you because you don't dress exactly like I do.

The fact that you've elicited opposing opinions probably means you've got a good balance in your outfits.
