JFWR, I stand corrected. Thanks!
I've been invited to a cocktail party on Cunard's Queen Elizabeth hosted by the captain. I am planning on wearing a serge navy blazer by Richard Anderson Ltd., off-white flannel trousers, blue dress shirt, blue/yellow/green tie striped tie, and my black & white spectators. Thoughts?

"...avoid the green in the tie."I'd avoid the green in the tie. Blue doesn't pair well with green, although you may be able to get away with it because there's "colour between", but then again, it'd still be in contrast with the blue of the blazer and the shirt. Perhaps another tie is in order?
I tend to think black/white spectators go great with an off-white pair of trousers, perhaps worn with a pair of blue socks just to break up the white-white. Given it's a cocktail party, I assume this is during the evening hours? If so, the black/white suits the occasion more, but if it's going to be during the day if you have a pair of brown/white spectators I might suggest that that.
"...avoid the green in the tie."
Thanks. I'm a bit red/green color-blind so that sort of thing eludes me. I should have brought out the ol' color wheel, but I thought blue and green being the colors of the seas it would work. As we will be in southern climes I will go with blue and yellow in my tie.
This is a long cruise, San Francisco to Barcelona by way of the Panama Canal, 29 days, so there will no doubt be events in the day as well as the night, so I will be taking both the black & white and the cognac & white spectators. As I will returning on Holland America's Rotterdam from Amsterdam in early October, because of the cooler temps the cognac & whites would be spiff with my oatmeal houndstooth tweed coat and solid brown flannels. Agree? Or would the black & whites work, too?
Thanks! If I can find a silk striped tie with teal and lime green, I'll go with that.
Here's the spectators in question. Do you think the perforations on the white part of the cognac and white specs relegate them to warm weather times?
And I don't mean to hijack Matty S's thread, but as we are discussing how to pair spectators, could you give me your opinion of the cognac & navy paired with my Hickey Freeman navy striped suit? I think it looks stunning together. Actually, everybody, please comment if you wish.
Thanks!
Understand now about the colors for the tie. Definitely silk with the serge blazer, right?
Does this corrected angle help you?
