Still don't like the watch, but I have a question. I have a royal blue "summer" suit. I have no idea what tie to wear with it. Can a black knit work with such a light blue? I am not sure about how to pair it. I was also thinking of a white tie with red pindots that Will has on his site.


Brown pindot.

A summery tie or anything that would go with that suit color?

It was a question. Typically, that's what the use of the "?" form of punctuation denotes. Reading is fundamental.

i think he was referring to the vagueness of the suggestion.

It was a loaded question implying how obvious it is to chose a color tie to go with the suit. At least that is how I read it.

It wasn't intended as a loaded question. I was just wondering whether your focus is on finding something to match the color (not easy at all!) or on finding something that matches both the color and the seasonality, since one could infer that you were at least partially focused on it being a summer suit.

Oh, I totally thought you were being snide. Just interpreted it wrong, sorry about that. But yeah, nothing summery and pastel. I generally like fairly linear and nothing with too many colors or whimsical or anything.

Is a deep burgundy linen tie totally out of the question?

Deep burgundy and linen are not two things I normally think of together...
