So, I recently purchased a dark charcoal suit with white pindot stripes (see below). I have a reservations at one of NYC's finest restaurants next Saturday for my 8th anniversary and am heading out to buy a new tie on Sunday to wear with the suit. Any thoughts on color/pattern combination with such a bold suit?

I will be wearing dark oxblood shoes if it matters.

Thanks in advance.

It is this jacket:

I don't think it's that bold (caveat: I have a couple of bold suits), and in those colors I think many things would work. Burgundy and purple/lavender are the first to come to mind.
And check this recent thread out:

Thanks. I was thinking purple as well. I don't know how I missed that thread, but it is quite helpful.
