Gents,
I have an upcoming event and i'm undecided on which tie and square to match. I'm new to silk squares and would like to venture out of my white-linen-tv-fold comfort zone. The suit is a wool charcoal and the shirt a white cotton (my only shirt with a respectable collar for suit wear). Most pictures feature a navy grenadine tie i just picked up from Kent Wang - I figured this would be the most SF approved (it's also my favorite of the bunch). If it factors in at all, I plan to wear Merlot shoes...though i'm toying with the idea of a dark chocolate brown. Apologies about the photo quality - I changed lighting after a few...colors seem much more true in the later photos.
Suit / Shirt as a whole
Square #1 - new silk from Kent Wang...i really like this, but the navy might be too close to the tie?
Square #2 - boring white linen, tv fold
Square #3 - white linen with red edging
Square #4 - silk, i like this
Square #5 - silk, i'm not so sure this works...awkward pattern?
Square #6 - silk, i like this...but again, the navy might be too close to the tie?
Square #7 - silk, not sure how i feel about it
Close up of squares 7, 6, 1, 4, and 5
Cheap printed tie - but i like the look of this combo if i could find a similar tie of greater quality make
Other tie options
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Maybe pairings with other ties? I'm open to any, but prefer the grenadine. Feel free to suggest new ties / squares entirely - my collection could use some new additions.
