need help picking shirts to go with ties and suits

[bzilla]

I need to buy some new dress shirts. I have a staple of classic ties and suits but also have a few ties I like but dont know what shirts to match them up with. if you could suggest some colors/styles of shirts i would appreciate it. sorry pics are not fantastic. i have a couple navy suits, charcoal, lighter gray. any ideas?
I actually not even sure if i should keep the ties as i never wear them, but half of them are 7 fold robert talbot ties and I want to put them to use.

yikes, I'm not really a fan of any of those ties...the two on the far left in the bottom pic are the only ones I might ever wear. But if you just get white and light blue solid dress shirts these ties will look as good as they ever will.

ya true... they just sitting in the closet, i am hesitant to get rid of them because some of them are 7 fold robert talbot which arent cheap...

oh well.

for the geometric on the far left in the bottom pic - try it with a striped shirt with stripes that are about as far apart as the the squares on the tie are wide. Maybe a light blue stripe and wear with your navy suit.

I'd go with the second or the fourth (the background seems to be blue...) tie from the left: you could try it with the blue suit and a white or light blue shirt. A shirt with a french collar and monograms would be perfect to be weared with a blue tie...

mostly keep the shirts in solids: light blue, light pink, cream

No, you don't.

No, you don't.

Read his whole post. It says a "staple of classic ties... but also have a few ties I like but don't know what shirts to match them up with"
