I'm trying to figure out the best way to find a shirt / tie / pocket square combo to go with this 3 piece suit.
I've never worn a 3 piece suit, so im not sure how loud i'm allowed to be with the tie or shirt, and the appropriate way to color/pattern match it. the difficulty comes from the blue accent in the plaid pattern of the suit.
primarily - what patterns of shirt/tie will work, and which colors? how heavy or subtle a pattern would work? i've been looking at ledbury and charles tyrwhitt shirts, and thought that maybe a sky blue shirt would work, however im not sure if a light gingham patter is appropriate. can a heavy gingham work? do i stick with a hairline stripe or solid shirt?
for tie - is a solid tie appropriate? seems like it might be too boring. i was thinking a navy pindot tie, but im worried the pattern might be too light?
some people advised wearing a brown tie, or but it seems that might blend in too much. i had a military khaki burberry tie with hints of green etc but when i put it with the suit it seemed like it might not work (picture at the end)
pictures of the suit are below.
the model is wearing a blue shirt and blue tie, but i really dont like the combination there. i wanted something a bit more modern, or with a bit more.. flavor to it.
also this will be for a fall/winter occasion [a wedding].
