The tie is white with black stripes. Although it does kind of look like a silver tie. What color suit would you recommend?

The black overpowers the white, giving it a darker look.

Not sure what would work besides a dark charcoal or (most here would never wear one) black. Either way it would be pretty dark

A navy or charcoal suit. Cut slim to match the cut of the shirt and tie. Don't forget the TV fold on the pocket square and polish your black lace ups!

Grey would be best, but I don't think it has to be charcoal. A mid-to-light grey would work too. Might work with the right POW too.

Maybe depending on your body suit a thin grey/charcoally color would be best tightish fitting dark shoes
