which color for my butterfly?

Hi,

I have a question regarding color, in a few weeks I’ll be attending a party where i’ll be wearing the suit and shirt below, but i’m not quite sure which butterfly to match with it.

From my understanding of the colorwheel and such it should be either greenish, organgy or burgundy

I’m currently looking at some of these butterflies.

For info, i’m a bald, white man with red beard and plus size.

Any input is welcome for the whole set

Are you required to wear a bow tie to the party or is this you making a fashion choice?

Also, is this a shirt and suit you already own?

It's called a bow tie. I like 1 and 4. If you can, get a real one, not a pre-tied one. Self-tied bow ties will look more voluminous and will stay upright while the pre-tied ones won't.
(Imo a regular tie is the better choice 9 times out of 10.)

Oh sorry, it's called a Butterfly in my language

I'm not required, but I wanted some kind of spice in the outfit - I just flat out don't like ties, which is why i went with this.
@GSH It's currently on the way, should receive the shirt and suit tomorrow or the day after.

Also i'm not nessecarily locked on to any of these, so any suggestions are welcome

TTaintia Oh sorry, it's called a Butterfly in my language 😄 I'm not required, but I want...

Sorry but I wish you responded a couple days ago when I initially commented. The shirt and suit both look bad, I'd return them if possible. And you'll want to wear a neck tie, not a bow tie

For bigger guys most of the time bow ties will look a bit comical. Not to be rude but I have to agree with @GSH

And I just saw that you ordered a button down shirt as well. Button down shirts look even worse with bow ties, additionally button down shirts with such a small collar will always look bad with both ties and bow ties. (Arguably on their own as well.)
