Would either a black or navy necktie be bad with a navy jacket and white shirt?
This would be for job interviews and such.

Aside from my first instinct being ‘do you really need to be wearing a tie to job interviews’ I’d probably avoid both of those
Black tie reads way too formal for me and I’d want a little more contrast from a navy blazer than I’d get from a navy tie
It's an excuse to dress up. I have always read one should dress one level up from the job's dress code.
I’d still check with hr or whomever for what they recommend for interview attire so I’m not showing up overdressed
That's fair
But in any case solid black and solid navy ties are the two ties I’d most avoid wearing with a navy blazer
Which colours work better?
Personal examples
I like brown and dark green but there’s so many options, navy blazer/white shirt is super versatile
Thank you
DO you think either black or navy with polka dot stripes could work better?
Navy w/ pattern potentially but I’d avoid black altogether
Interesting, do you just think black clashes with navy?
Ehhh not necessarily I just don’t think black tie (patterned or otherwise) navy blazer looks good in the context of a job interview
Navy tie with a navy jacket is fine - it’s a very conservative look and there’s nothing wrong with that. Anglo Italian does the tonal tie a lot
This is from a Drake’s lookbook
However, I wouldn’t do it if you mean a navy blazer with brass buttons.
