The PS should complement the shirt and suit, not necessarily the tie. The PS should certainly not match the tie like those cheap sets commonly found at department stores.

I like brown, burgundy, or navy ties.

Due to the weave of the fabric, you'll want something casual and textured. May I suggest taking inspiration from these three looks? Stone, light brown, pale blues.

Have fun, play around with colours/textures/tones & consider how they dress-up or down for the look you're trying to achieve. Which may well vary on any given day, dependent the occasion or simply your mood.
