Back to the matter of a matching purple tie to the charcoal grey that was requested a few days back. I worked up a few purple or purple themed ties that went well with a charcoal grey pin stripe suit. This first one was interesting because it used a dark navy satin based tie with mixes of lilac fuchsia (hot pink) and beige in it. The shirt is a Hickey Freeman His First shirt (purple and light blue stripes) borrowed from the kids store and the square is white with a lilac trim to keep it simple.
Second up, the satin based tie with the black warp.
After seeing the photograph here I am thoroughly convinced that this tie is best at work against a white or white based shirt (like this) for optimal contrast which is contrasted against a BLACK or solid charcoal grey (really dark) suit. Similar to this look (the flash photography makes the shirt look close to white. In reality it's grey.

Tomorrow a few more lighter color ties with this set and the black and white for the first tie.
Thanx for matching other shirts with this suit, this will really help me a lot.
ReplyDeleteI have yet another favour to ask - the second tie is a definite must have for me, and i'll probably be ordering it in next couple of months, so could you recommend the best shirt and suit combo for it?
Ooops, i just noticed, you already said the third photo is the best combination for that tie.
