Tie By Tie 9b (More Showing Off)

I like this tie.  After using it with the charcoal suit that was out, I thought we should take it one step further and put it to use with a Navy Suit, Light Blue Shirt and complementary Green with silver floral Square:

And then for a little spin on things, lets keep the blue shirt but swap the navy suit for a brown suit to show just how far this tie, with the pink silver and ecru stripe can go.

With a square detail here:

Now, lets bring in the pink shirt which also works nicely with the brown suit.  Swap the square out for, the parasol square in the brown tones and this is what you get, (with a High Res of the ensemble here).  I liked the way this combo came out so much that had I not been lazy I would have used it as the tie shot on the site. (It did help that the flash was higher power and less yellow tones showed on the tie than yesterdays post).

Here is the square detail with the high res here.

Your Thoughts?

Joe’s Dilemma

Joe is the subject of this past week’s Sully, I lied Post.

He liked what I suggested with regard to a mint shirt but when he went shopping was unable  to find one. Emailing me that he did get a Lilac shirt I told him that the orange tie wouldn’t work with the lilac.  I  suggested that he return the Lilac shirt and sent him a Pink shirt, replacement tie and alternate square.

Here is the result:

The High Res shots are Here and Here and if you cant see them its a combination of  Black Suit, Pink Shirt, Burgundy and Multicolor square (all colors of the square working with the black in the suit) and the brother of that previous orange tie with more of a cranberry/Bloody orange type col0ration).  I like it.

Have a great weekend!

Blue and Silver

So…What is it with you people?  I welcome and encourage requests or questions yet I have to resort to checking the search words to see what you want.  Dont be so shy.  Email or comment about something you want to see.

So working off a search topic of silver and Blue tie I came up with the following ideas… (now I know that you might complain that the first one is perhaps blue and silver but that evokes the Zebra question, doesnt it? 😉 ) 

Here is an elegant tie primarily Blue with Silver Stripe.  Paired with a  square that I think is too matchy to the colors of the Suit/Tie/Shirt.  Yes, I know that the tie linked is not that similar to the tie on the site but thats just cause my photography skills have gotten much better).  This is the suit thats being shown.

Dropping in a little splash of color in the red square you get something like this:  The Square is not yet on the site but will be added soon.

I think that this square is the correct one of the three, offering color yet not too much.  Of course there are so many options in this shirt/suit/tie grouping.

This next tie seems to be a little blah to me in this setting.  In general I think that that tie is a little too sedate for my tastes but I will see a little later what I can do to spruce it up and make it look a little more alive.

This beauty is a great tie.  Pretty much a silvery blueish field with navy highlights on the paisley make this a classic yet bold design.

Bringing the same tie and square into the a pink background make it look like this.  Nice contrast!

Now back to the first tie to show how it comes together with the blue and silver stripe. (or was that silver and blue?)
