I have a special occasion i am attending tomorrow and i just bought this tie. My first idea was to wear this tie with a white button up and a black v nck sweater and black pants and black shoes. However , i wanted to switch it up. Instead of the white , i was gonna go with the semi dark and light grey shirt or a light blue shirt. I also have off white pants. Any other ideas?

Hi - I'm going to move this to menswear advice, where it will get a bit more attention, and also, be of benefit to other members who might have a similar question/dilemma!

Cheers,

Fok.

Light blue shirt, the black sweater, and gray pants would probably look alright. I'd avoid wearing ties with darker shirts. I'd also avoid sweater and pants in the same color
