I'm making a custom french cuff shirt for me, from scratch. I design it myself on the website, from the cuff to the collar and they will stitch it for me. I want just one, but I'm having a hard time choosing from these 5, all of which are awesome. I think each one will look good on me. But which one?

I just came across this freaky tie on eBay. Incredible design but will definitely look a little off







That last picture on the white shirt, that's what's pulling me I can totally pull this one off With dark grey pants and suit. Black will do too.

Pink Tonal gets my vote, followed by the Blue Tonal.

Thanks, IW. I like both the pinks, they are my first choices. But the pink tonal is definitely the rock star of the bunch. But all five of them look incredible

Pink goes with any suit or pants. It's simply an amazing colour.

I'm itching to get that tie though, it will add tremendous power to a white shirt, I like how it looks on that white shirt.

i like all those. i'd say go with the pink; i think you can pull that off with your skin tone. it looks like seersucker.

for me, being pink-hued by nature, you won't see me wearing pink. i'd probably go with Charcoal Tonal Herringbone or Blue Tonal Herringbone.

Looks like a quilt.

it is interesting, though. i agree that it wouldn't work with anything but a plain vanilla sort of suit.

Only a plain black suit will do the trick.

x fit extreme slim techy blazer - Suit Separates- Calvin Klein

It's an incredible tie. Good design.

That necktie looks just like a guitar strap I had in the 60's. (Which I should have kept.) Thumbs up, Chamy.

yeah, black was what i had in mind. when i said 'plain vanilla', i just mean that you don't want a busy shirt or a busy suit. That tie will do all the talking for you.

We have a similar taste in fabric, Dew. Had a feeling you'd like that one.

Was it one of those days you were a cool woodstock chick with a headband?

Something about the tie draws me. Incredible design and various patterns on one fabric. It's also very Eastern, much like paisleys are, gives a hindu-moghul touch to it. And of course, the fabric's a reminder of the psychedelic design often used in Beatles/Pink Floyd psychedelic album art It can totally come off as a nice item on a formal suit.

Will wear it on my promotion day.

Yeah, and somewhat broader lapels. The lapels on the calvin suit are way too thin, it would draw focus away from the tie.

Actually I was the surfer girl with the puka beads. Which I DID keep!

Great fabrics are a must, IMO.

So are congrats due on a promotion? That day calls for the great shoes too.
