Shirt + tie combo

[JakeRayan]

Is this combo okay? Also is the knot properly tied?

 

[Mixolydian]

that tie burns my retina.

 

[MontyAC]

Any free iPad with the combo?

 

[PingviN]

Black shirt with colorful tie is so ugly

Ugh

 

[MontyAC]

White tie would be better.

 

[PingviN]

White tie would be better.

No tie would be better.

 

[Svnla]

The tie is too loud. If you are going to wear a black shirt, get a black tie.

The knot is ok, could have more well define on the edge.

To drool soup on?

 

[Broheim]

No tie would be better.

ties and bow ties are awesome.


black shirts are not though.

 

[Ophir]

Unless you're interviewing to work at a mall kiosk, don't wear a a black dress shirt. Don't make it worse by slapping that tie on it.

I like ties
I like black shirts

I don't like black shirts with ties.

 

[JakeRayan]

My suit is black. Is it better to go without a tie and black shirt, or with this tie and a white shirt? We're going to a bar later.

 

[UglyCasanova]

What is the occasion?

 

[Kneedragger]

I wouldn't wear a black shirt with a black suit. Get a different shirt...

Suit or just suit jacket? If suit, go with the white shirt and tie. If jacket, go with white shirt and no tie.

I can pull off a black shirt with a flat gray skinny tie.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

Half windsor knot looks like garbage. Look on youtube for how to tie a full windsor knot. Also, waiter's and basement dwelling mouth breathers are the only people who should feel okay wearing a black button up shirt with a tie.

The only way I would feel acceptable to appear in public in a black button up shirt is with jeans on. No dress pants.

It's absolutely perfect for your Green Day American Idiot tribute band.

Are you a waiter? Then, the answer is no.

A couple of notes:

- There is almost no situation in which you want to wear a black dress shirt. The exceptions are if you are employed as part of a wait service, or if you really know what you're doing, in which case you wouldn't have asked the question. (I know what I'm doing, but I still won't touch black shirts.)

- Full width ties are dead. Long live skinny ties! For summer, get a nice collection of cotton, linen and wool knit ties. For fall and winter, silk and silk knit. It basically follows the same rules as general clothing - heavy fabrics for colder weather, lighter for warmer.

- Don't shout using your tie; it's usually what people notice first anyways, and you don't need to overdo it. The GQ Guide to Ties is a pretty great walkthrough to basic concepts in the shirt-and-tie world.

Hell, if kids can wear black socks with slides then you look fine.

Button-down collars with ties? Please.

Hell of a lot of spread collars, too. Hope your shape works with that.

You could, but the no-tie would still be a better result :/
