The usual formula is this: Gray Suit = Navy tie. Navy suit = Gray or black tie. That color formula doesn’t really get shaken up too much, and for good reason. Red ties don’t look the best on most, and it’s tough to find a quiet orange yellow, or purple tie.
Which is precisely why every guy should have a dark green tie in his closet.
A dark green tie with a subtle pattern, like this one from Banana Republic’s Monogram Collection, allows you to break up your neck-wear rut. The shade of green is perfect on this tie, and there’s just enough of a plaid pattern to make it stand out from your flock of usual gray/black/blue, striped/pin-dot/ and solid ties.
