Hi, first post!
So, i've been making a serious effort to expand my wardrobe beyond jeans/t-shirts and the few ill-fitting suits i've had in my youth. In quest for a hopefully more respectable closet, i was given this suit as a gift.
Of course, being new to this (even after lurking around here and absorbing as much of your precious knowledge as i can) i'm really kind of clueless when it comes... well, everything! But especially to certain pairings beyond what i'm used to (plain, solid suits and solid shirts, no frills).
So, what i'm really looking for is what kind of shirt and tie combo would work best with this suit! Especially in regards to the vest, as i had been thinking of checked or mini-grid but wasn't sure if that would be too "busy". Maybe a knitted tie? Brownish shoes, or black? This is my first real exercise in branching out, fashion-wise, and i'm hoping it'll provide a little insight and confidence into future choices.
