I am thinking a solid red or dark pink tie. Alternatively, it could be a red or dark pink tie with white pin dots.

Navy or black grenadine, depending on the color of your suit.

Conservative: Navy pin-dot (goes with everything).

Bold: Something purple-ish.

Other than the obvious choice of navy, I think brown and green would both be very good choices. Pink and green is especially appropriate for spring and summer, although it's a somewhat bold look. Pink and brown always looks good.

You could do maybe plain navy tie or a navy and green with pink dots. Black Grenadine or black with white pin dots to man it up a bit. Maybe something with grey in it would also work. Whatever you do, never wear plain white. I doubt you would though.

For me, pink and blue go together. But the ideas of green or brown are interesting. Start to read WAYWRN from the beginning - a dozen pages a day and you'll catch up in a few months. Ignore the text and just look through the photos and you'll get a feel for what works.
