Hi there. What suit are you wearing?

You can get some ideas by logging onto TM Lewin or Thomas Pink website, they normally have lots of pictures of ties matched with shirts, so you can see what they look like.

I am not a fan of dark shirts with ties, especially lighter coloured ties. I've always dressed by the rule that you shouldn't wear a tie that's a lighter colour than the shirt. Otherwise you're in danger of looking like a) a 1920's gangster or b) a 17 year old on his grad night.

So go for a classic white shirt, spread colour, with a nice dark tie, maybe navy or red or with a bold stripe or design. Depends on the suit of course, but you can wear a white shirt and navy tie with anything.

yep, it looks corny if you wear a lighter tie than shirt.
