The source of much debate - what is the best colour tie for a blue suit/white shirt

combination?

Many will say that red is a classic here - but it just makes me think people are trying too hard to dress 'powerfully'.

You aren't suggesting wearing a solid-colour tie are you, r? This is something only done by spivs, estate agents, footballers and politicians. Your tie should have a subtle, but distinct pattern.

Slightly contrasting blue with a discreet herringbone pattern imo

Something like this would work nicely, as well.

I generally wear solid colour ties.

You come under 'footballers' - having played at a certain level and all. ;-)

A paper bag over your head would seem most appropriate

The only level the reprehensible old tosser ever played at was "walking football for fat old tossers" level.

Ignore the nonsense about solid-colour ties. B is talking ****e.

A burgundy goes well with yourcombination or, if you are looking to make an impression, a goldish yellow- although that can look estate agenty ifyou get the shade wrong.
