Tie By Tie 7 (Pink and Burgundy)

When it comes to classic men's clothing and other matters sartorial,  Will Boehlke the author of A Suitable Wardrobe is a veritable wellspring of knowledge.  About a month ago on StyleForum.net Will commented that pink and maroon naturally compliment each other.  I don't always agree with Will when it comes to color coordination but with pink and maroon, I think he's got it right.

Here are some pictures that bear that thought out.  (If you look at the high res shot you will see that the tie itself is a deep burgundy/maroon with  stripes of pink (as well as gold) in it and is quite nice even before you put it with a shirt, suit and square.)

In the first shot we show the charcoal grey suit with pink shirt with floral square again and here enhanced with the burgundy tie.  If you look at the tie you will see that its one with a different colored warp (or weft, I don't remember which is which) and that accounts for the shimmering iridescence and the multi dimensional appearance of the tie.



Swapping the shirt for a light blue textured weave will give you a softer yet no less nice effect.



And here you have the detail of the square.
