Matching Tie for Off White Dress Shirt
Hey y’all trying to match this shirt: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/off-white-oxford-dress-shirt-ry-3410-c22f5k
With a navy dress pant. What color tie would you all recommend? Or if this is hard to match would you change shirt colors?
Kinda running my head against a wall with nice stand out tie ideas.

What jacket
No jacket. Person throwing the event wants to keep it a little bit casual
I personally think that with walnut shoes, navy pants, and a cream shirt it limits a bit what can be done. I’m sure there’s a combo out there that works but it’s gonna be out there
Hmm I’m not a fan of tie and no jacket but a dark red/burgundy is what I’d wear prolly
I think lots and lots of things could work with that. Just depends where you will be wearing it, what vibe you are going for, etc. tough to gauge the exact time of the shirt from pictures. My first thought is a mid- purple but that may be biased by our recent thread. Red works but you'd likely want darker
It’s my moms wedding and she wants me to help with the male wedding party attire
She also wants to do a green tie

Can be convinced of other colors but I’m trying to wrap my head around the whole fit and that’s where my mental block is at
I mean, wouldn't be my first choice with that but it's doable. For someone's wedding, wear what the bride wants and shut your mouth is my general advice.
She’s looking for advice
And it’s falling to me
So I’m turning to y’all
Ahhh, that's different then. I personally would vote for a deeper red (lovely with off-white) or a mid- dark purple but off-white is pretty forgiving. Lots can work.
Here’s a wild curveball the groom is going to be wearing a tartan kilt
Is there anyway a dark red tartan tie would work? Ha
For the red and purples are we contrasting off the navy for a darker color
Or is it something about the off white
I think it's both. You want it to stand out from the white, but it needs to play nicely with the navy.
Tartan kilts cover a huge range of colors. If THAT is decided, I'd match ties to a shade in the kilt.
I actually think a dark red tartan (or similar pattern) tie could look fabulous in that context
I think so too
Especially if y’all think darker red would work
This is the kilt
Then follow up, y’all know any places that sell tartan red ties?
Want to keep the tie price under $50 but if we find the perfect one for a bit more that’s ok
Wear literally whatever the bride wants
I literally just googled "red black tartan tie" and saw a dozen things that are workable ranging from $15 to $70.
so that I'm understanding correctly
- the groom is wearing a red kilt
- the rest of the wedding party is wearing an off white shirt and navy dress pants with no jacket?
- the bride's leading preference is a bright green tie?
Yes but open to ideas
Was debating about a tartan pocket square and might like the tartan tie idea
also are the walnut shoes a definite
I think we need some broader context here too. Is the wedding party wearing kilts in the same design as the groom? Or is this what the groomsmen will be wearing? This feels like 50-50 fashion and wedding planning but with nowhere near enough info for either
No we are wearing the navy pants
Groom is the only one wearing a kilt
Yes they want plain toe Oxford shoes
but changing to black isn't an option?
my thought: change the shirt color to something like light gray or light blue or light green, change to black shoes if possible and wear a dark red cravat, such as this https://www.tieroom.com/cravat-notch-swanky-dark-red-solid-tonal-scroll-pattern-red.html

SWANKY DARK RED pre-tied cravat
Cold churches can make a wedding service seem to last forever. Make sure you lock in all your warmth with this snuggly fitted cravat.
there's videos on how to tie a cravat "properly" or you could treat it like an ascot or very short necktie
and i would not wear a pocket square (tartan or otherwise) in a shirt pocket unless the bride insists
Yeah, I'm all kinds of confused now. Pocket squares generally go in jacket pockets but there are no jackets? Do we even WANT to match to the groom or do we want to contrast them from others?
for reference, a few fits of mine wearing a tie without jacket intentionally; white shirt in 1/2, light blue in 3, off white in 4 with tucked tie
