So I bought my FIRST quality suit from brooks brothers in navy blue. My CC cannot take anymore hits lol

Luckily I have a BR gift card. It is only $150 though. But I can shell out aboure 70-80 more on top of that.

Which shirt/tie would you suggest ?

You should def have a nice white shirt for a navy suit. Not crazy about any of those ties but ANY most any can work with a navy/white shirt combo...

What is this for, and interview? For formal/non-creative interviews, you should wear a white shirt. For anything else... go crazy with it. I like the purple striped shirt with a purple tie. If so, don't forget the socks!
