Need help choosing a shirt and a tie for this suit.

Hello guys, will wear this in a few weeks, I need advice choosing for a shirt and a tie.

Pretty bold look; I think a simple dress shirt in white or light blue would work. Maybe a burgundy or dark red tie in solid or a simple subtle stripe.

You could go with a classic white shirt, but with that suit I think pretty much any shirt or tie color would work, even a bowtie. I doubt the other gangsters will care that much.

What’s the occasion? Are you trying to dress up the suit? Or dress it down? Have you worn the suit before? If so, what did you with then?

That’s a very bold suit - not only is it double breasted but it has very bold pinstripes. Now, I’m a big lover of bold stripes (though I almost exclusively wear single breasted suits) but as a lover of bold stripes, one thing I can say is a more muted tie is going to be better here. I would probably opt for a solid navy or gray tie. Maybe a very dark burgundy. Whatever I would end up choosing, it would be a solid tie with no patterns except maybe with some texture e.g. a grenadine tie.

You could go with a pattern on a dark navy tie like this picture from a Ralph Lauren Purple Label advertisement of a gent wearing a bold stripe suit, and it would probably work:

As far as shirts go, I wouldn’t wear anything with this one but a solid white or solid light blue. Or if you want to go all out since you’re already wearing such a bold suit - solid blue with a white contrast collar for the full Gordon Gekko look.

I’m wearing it for a wedding, never worn it before.

Are you the groom or a guest?

If you're a guest, go with a traditional solid charcoal or navy single-breasted suit. Don't wear something so attention-grabbing. The groom is supposed to be the center of attention.

If you're the groom, you can wear whatever you want.

Solid shirt. White or light blue.

Solid tie, silver, burgundy, or navy.

I am no expert but unless you are the groom I think this suit is too loud.
I know a rule of wedding dress is never show up the groom.

But to answer your question. Crisp white shirt and navy tie.
