You're either trolling or totally delusional.Really.....not even with grey pant tie with a slight pop of color....or gray tie of some sprt...
I guess it is option 2 since i am not trolling......not too many options .You're either trolling or totally delusional.
Is the goal of this forum to be boring or what...confused. Ironic that i am arguing boringness regarding black shirt. I just don't understand saying that noone can look good in such attire when it is not true.
Some advice: surf the forum, learn from folks that are much better dressers than you. Clarity will be had after you put in some legwork.I guess it is option 2 since i am not trolling......not too many options .
I was thinking black shirt with a grey tie. Maybe a combonation die of the 2nd and third one in with wider patern and a few thin solid black lines?

White shirt / paler blue striped shirt / pale pink striped shirt / pale lemon striped / checked shirt etc. Any shirt that is pale and with pattern effectively.
However solid coloured very very bright ties are not the best to match.
The goal of the MC part of the forum is first of all, to help people wear clothes that actually fit, and secondly, chose coherent combinations that look good in a timelessly stylish (as opposed to fashionable) manner. Check the Styleforum 101 (above) if you want to get the general idea. If you want fashion, there's Streetwear & Denim - the other side of the forum. They are also very nice people (and some of us hang around in both), but they'll also be rather less welcoming to people coming in and trying to tell them how it is.
The OP was about how to wear a turquoise tie. Even you now seem to be admitting that there are better ties with even your suggested shirt. The thing about black shirts with ties is that while some people may be able to pull them off, it's generally the case that even for them a different, lighter colour shirt would be better. Even though they might look okay with a black shirt in some circumstances, depending on the jacket / suit you are wearing, all the ties you have posted above would look better with a white or light grey shirt than a black shirt. That's the point. A black shirt is almost always not the first choice of shirt with a tie and with good reason. As a casual shirt, it's a whole different story (and in case you are wondering, I do still own a casual black shirt or two).
I really know what I'm talking about here in a very personal way. When I was younger, I went through a phase of wearing almost nothing but black suits, black shirts and turquoise, neon green or grey ties. I thought I looked awesome. Just as a warning, I will repost this (tiny) picture:
You may feel better in your overpriced clothing but i buy what is comfortable and looks good. I just bought a new thomas pink shirt paired with an isaia tie and got zero compliments. I get more compliments from a van huesen shirt and non silk tie (gift).
No suit coats for me i guess. But Ted Baker is my favorite Tie style so i guess i would get ripped on here for a lot of the stuff i wear. I am assuming most would say shirt and tie no coat is not a good idea but it works for me for the most part. I will consider buying some coats but i am already overdressed the way it is. Paisley ties are my favorite....are they ok? heh
This sounds like it may work, never thought of a Navy suit with it. Any sample pictures? FYI, darker skin tone, dark brown hair, hazel eyes.
