Hello, long time-lurker, first-time poster here.
While browsing through various menswear stores, I constantly see really bright red or fuchsia accessories that really catch my eye. I know that catching the eye is exactly the nature of such colours, but I cannot deny that they appeal a lot to me and I would love to wear some of them from time to time. The problem is that while the ties are simply beautiful on their own, I have trouble imagining them as parts of whole ensembles. How could I offset the brightness and vividness of such items so that they don't attract too much attention? I considered white shirts with light pink stripes or checks, pocket squares with pink or red trims, also some light purple, but I would like some advice before I splurge on a scarlet satin or a fuchsia / pink pindot tie that I've wanted for so long. Any help would be appreciated, gents.
Also, would a mid-bright red cashmere scarf be too feminine for everyday wear?
