I picked up this taupe suit the other day for a song-- assuming the more summer clothes I buy, the more I will hasten summer's arrival...

Looking for suggestions as to possible shirt/tie combinations to go with it. The suit is ever so slightly darker than it appears in the picture (at least on my calibrated monitor)

As always, all thoughts are welcome.

Or, for example, white shirt and a mostly light blue tie, to be as summery as possible without making it inappropriate for many settings.

I would do a light green shirt and a similar colored pattern tie or a lavender shirt but not a navy tie that would be too dark for that suit.
