Tie Choice

[Intelligence3]

I am getting a dark brown moleskin sport coat for Christmas, I am told. I was thinking of wearing this with dark gray pants or jeans and a white shirt. I would like to also wear a tie with it occasionally. In my current wardrobe, I have a couple ties I thought might be appropriate:

Else, what sort of tie color scheme might you recommend?

Thanks, wasn't sure which side to go to, it's kind of a casual look overall.

Subdued colors are the way to go imo (grays, dark colors) with minimalistic designs

Thanks, my tie skills are poor.

If you're going for casual, you can play with it a little. The outfit you described sounds very subdued; when I put together outfits, I try to include one item with bright colors in it or something else to make it pop. The tie on the left has a nice amount of color to it and it doesn't look as busy as the one on the right; I'd opt for that one. Try playing with colors like light blue or navy. As for color coordinating in general, a good guide to follow is two neutral pieces and one accent piece.
