I was going for a traditional navy, but found this. I really like the color, but I'm worried it's not quite conservative enough, especially since it's a mohair blend and is therefore a bit shiny. It's also a bit hard to pair with most of my ties due to its lighter shade.

Try a Thai silk necktie from Sam Hober. The iridescence of the Thai silk works well with mohair.
