I like the tie and square combo;however, I think it is a bit much for a notched lapel SB suit. I think it would look great paired with a peak lapel DB suit.

I was going to say that looked a little too fancy for day wear but for a festive occasion, like a wedding it works.

I think that tie is awful. But then again, I pretty much think that all paisley ties are awful.

In addition, the tie knot is too big, and you're showing too much square.

Just one man's opinion.
