Hi guys,

I ordered this bowtie a few years ago and its been sitting in my closet ever since. I've been to therapy to work on my self confidence and its really helped me. I've decided that I need to get on with my life and that I need to live my life without caring what others think. We only live once so we need to make the most of it. Redpill really helped me too. I like the tie and I plan to wear it to a job interview on Wednesday, a date on Saturday and a wedding on the 29th of March.

The issue is that I'm not sure what color shirt to wear with it. I think it might be hard to match because its dark blue with red spots. A black or dark blue shirt will clash with the blue. A red shirt will clash with the spots.

Any suggestion would help I m thinking of wearing it with grey chinos on Wednesday, white jeans on Thursday and a black suit on the 29th (not sure what shirts yet).

Welcome to the forum, MT. Either someone messed with the mushrooms in my salad or that really is a rat head on your bow tie......?

Either of these should do fine. Depending on your audience, one is a bit more straightforward than the other.

It was custom made and cost several hundred, but fashion is about standing out from the crowd.

I'm not sure what shirt would work with that tie, but I know a trash can and/or open flame would serve it well...

You shouldn't have a problem achieving that, but I'm not so sure that's a good idea at for an interview.
