Hello everyone, I've just started to dress up a bit more maturely, so I need a lot of style advice!
I just got this new bow tie (it's the one on the page called Alexis):
http://www.lenoeudpapillon.com/collection.php?idProduct=499
I'm wondering how to wear this bow tie. I'm from Australia and it's been really hot here recently, even though it's still technically only spring and not yet even summer.
Would this bow tie go with a cream dinner jacket and black tuxedo pants for a formal dinner?
Would a black pocket square be appropriate?
I have a purple shirt that is a different purple to the purple in the bow tie, and the three colours (the purple colour of the shirt, the purple of the bow tie and the cerise pink of the bow tie) seem to contrast while matching together quite pleasingly to my eye. But, what do you think of a cream dinner jacket with a purple shirt? Or should I keep to a white shirt instead?
Also, would my proposed outfit be suitable to wear to a formal lunch at the Melbourne Cup (a horse race here for which people get really dressed up)?
Thanks for any help,
A wannabe Bustopher Jones
