Adam J Schmidt @adamjschmidt.com · May 12 Help me Bluesky you're my only hope! Here's a rack of ties from when I had to wear suits regularly back before the pandemic. Behind them is my new Bonobos blazer - does a tie pair with this thing at all? Do I just buy a new tie in LA this week ahead of Saturday's wedding? Red-green color deficient 😐

Tie pairs with the shirt, usually, not the blazer. What have you got to go with the ties?
Narrowing the options... white shirt, navy pants.
I feel like this is a brain teaser test. But go with a complementary color. The color that is opposite of the color of the suit or blazer on the color wheel. So if the coat is pale green you’d go with pale pink. Or do a neutral, black, gray or brown.
I know I may be too late, but my favorite is the yellow and white stripe. The blue in that one really pops with the blazer choice
Purple polka dots.
