Cruller Posted November 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2008 If my husband will be wearing a dark suit on formal night, what kind of tie should he wear? Will anything do--red, blue, yellow, patterned? Does it have to be "black"? Does it simply have to be subtle, like a nice solid gray? Thanks in advance for your help! We're looking forward to our Nov. 21st Caribbean trip in just 8 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp2001 Posted November 13, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I would go for ''subtle'', A dark gray would look nice IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruller Posted November 13, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted November 13, 2008 It's definitely sounding like something subtle in the gray to black range would work. Time to go examine his collection and send him to the store if necessary. Looking forward to meeting you too Dean! Thanks jp2001! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomica Posted November 13, 2008 #5 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Dark for sure. Gray, black, even a navy blue will do if you want a splash of color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real PM Posted November 13, 2008 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Dark for sure. Gray, black, even a navy blue will do if you want a splash of color. I'm not sure that navy blue goes very well with black, if the suit is black, and I wouldn't necessarily call navy blue exactly "a splash of color". It's almost as dismal as gray. You want a splash of color then go for red!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill, Nalcoln Nalcomb, Your lurid tie and cummerbund is lovely, but is that a tuxedo on you? The question was about what to wear with a dark suit. What would you wear with your dark suit?

What would you wear with your dark suit? Thank you, PM. A lady of taste and refinement, as I already knew. I have a selection of similar ties, shirts and trousers, mainly featuring the rather vivid wildlife of Hawaii, and these usually go down a storm.

SeaMatesNYC Posted November 13, 2008 #17 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thank you, Penny. As I just told PM, my clobber attracts much attention. Love and peace, Nalcolnxxx Nalcoln, I see your location is "QE2". Are you going to stay on in Dubai? Any concerns that your sartorial splendor may not be appreciated by the new owners? Perhaps they could be talked into a Hawai'i themed lounge where you could be host? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to go examine his collection and send him to the store if necessary. Looking forward to meeting you too Dean! Thanks jp2001! Just my opinion, for whatever it's worth: assuming we are talking about a business suit (not a tuxedo), I would say any tie pattern or color that your husband would feel happy wearing. Something he might wear to a wedding, holiday party (no snowmen, please!) or festive evening on the town should "go down a storm.":) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldinreno Posted November 13, 2008 #22 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Your husband will probably wear the dark suit more than one night. I suggest something dark to match the suit on black & white night. On the other evenings a bit of color like a bright red is great. If he happens to be very reserved then he can tone it down with gray or something similar. He can also take an extra tie along & select as he dresses depending on his mood that particular evening.

capnpugwash Posted November 13, 2008 #23 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I have looked all over for it but can't find the thread to advise Hubby on his sock and underwear choice. Is it ok if I start it here? :) I suggest black, and white and he should choose which is which. Just kidding, he cannot be told to wear white socks.

billet Posted November 13, 2008 #24 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I think you should wear a subtle tie. If you need to borrow a tie I have a few I can bring with me, just let me know which one(s). I have more if you need a bigger choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have more if you need a bigger choice. My excuse is that mine was a gift. I am generously giving you the benefit of assuming that you did not personally enter a novelty shop and purchase these ...THINGS ...yourself. Or did you skulk under the anonimity of the on-line purchase facility offered by your local circus outfitters? Gari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
