Brb. Selling my Red Octobers to fund this.

Contrast. Suggestions?

If I go with light purple shirt (stripped), I'm thinking black shoes..

If I go with light blue shirt, dark green tie, red hankie - Darker brown shoes

If I go with pattern white shirt, gold, maybes pink hankie - lighter brown shoes


Can't believe i'm lost at this.

Man. To be honest I don't really put too much thought about this

I also don't use color wheel. It's too much work for me and too many rules.

By contrast I meant the shoes shouldn't be the same hue as the suit so it doesn't look like a blob of brown. I also like how different textures mesh with each other and think it's a good way to break things apart. All of those shoes will do well with the suit.

Word up, mike. You the homie. Still gotta visit ATL to link up with you and Jason.

I spend way less time dressing than I did in my matchy sneaker days where even the color of the stitching should match the laces or something silly like that. Lol.

That's probably one of the few rules I follow. If I'm wearing a red striped shirt I would avoid tie and pocket square of similar hue.

If I were to pick, I'd say dark brown shoes or black shoes. I've recently become not fond of walnut colored shoes. I think a brown suit, white shirt, black knit/grenadine tie, black shoes is a great look.

Is a black tie with a navy suit too formal for a campus career fair?

Any suit on campus is formal. Lol. At least when I was in undergrad. I would do it though if you have all the pieces already.

As far as I know I have to wear a suit to this. I was thinking either black or burgundy. 

 

[omgitswes]

go with navy, and you definitely want to wear a suit to the career fair.

Looking for some ties to wear with both a Navy and Charcoal colored suit. thetiebar.com seems to have a great selection, but I'm horrible at picking colors. Can anyone assist me with a few?

I'm assuming this is for conservative business dress, and that you'll be wearing either white or light blue solid/striped shirts. Sticking to just the tiebar.com these are a few of my suggestions:

Additional 40 percent off at J. Crew again. Picked up this reverse sweater shirt and a dress shirt for work. Came out to be $44 and had $25 gift card.

Guy caught me off guard when he asked me what I'm studying in college when I showed him my ID

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Did you say basket weaving?

 

[wj4]

I only had a second to reply so I kept it real. Guy just moved from Texas. We chatted for a minute and I left

I thought about saying something like music but he would point me out in a second if that was his realm.
