I wouldn't wear that suit, either (too shiny and the blue isn't dark enough).
But if I had to, it'd definitely be with black shoes, a black belt and a sold white collared shirt (or maybe a very light blue). |

I was trying to be nice and give you the option.
Either you're gay for Tebow or you idolize him. You choose. |

You're obviously better than he is at doing this; although, I'm not a fan of stripes (that just personal preference though). The colors are spot on. |

Coincidentally, I was over at my parents house and my mom was eager to take my picture, so yeah, those are window coverings.
And no, I hadn't seen that picture before. That suit is way too blue obviously and I rather look like someone with autism than like a douche.
Funny thing is, everyone seems to know better but no one really says something about what would be a match concerning shirt, belt and shoes. Too afraid of being called out yourselves? Why should you be.. since this is one big circle jerk after all, I'm sure you guys would back eachother up.
They should call this site ing SuitAddict. It has enough suit elitists already. |
I actually like the brown belt + shoes with blue. I don't see why others have a problem with it.
I think it's your pose maybe? You're leaning back in a way that doesn't really flatter you. Should stand more tall with shoulders pronounced imo. :o |

With that shade of blue I would definately say brown is preferable to black... the suit is loud, black shoes won't mute it but brown at least brings an earthtone in and some added style. I would suggest; however, that the tone of brown is wrong... too much saturation, should be a lighter brown for that suit; maybe even camel. Given the shade of fabric that is a business suit and will never be a proper suit for any formal situation (no matter how you accessorise it) so brown is appropriate, even preferable. IF you have the moxy to pull that gawdy a suit off then you should go all the way with it. |

My thinking... you don't want to compete with yourself. Since the suit kind of screams at people you want to go more conservative with your shirt and tie. I would suggest a plain white dress shirt is the way to go (by plain I mean exactly that... no tone on tone, no flash, no style elements of any type, just a basic conservative white dress shirt that fits well... I throw in the last part because whether it's the pose or the shirt I'm not sure but the way the second from top button is pulling in the picture looks terrible). I always say tie with a suit... this whole CSI Miami suit and no tie needs to end already (suits should have ties, don't half-ass a suit, that's what sports jackets are for). The type of knot you normally use will determine what type of collar you get on the shirt... I rock a double windsor so I can pull off a wide spread to standard collar, if you out with a half windsor or 4 in hand then you want a narrower collar spread.
As far as the tie itself goes you have a lot of room to play pattern wise given the suit appears plain and the recommended shirt is plain so feel free to go with a conservative stripe, conservative paisly, or conservative plaid. I would avoid solid colours because the suit is solid; however, you want something that will not draw attention (the suit is doing that enough as it is) so try to keep it a conservative colour with very little contrast in it (grey and blue, blue and black, blue on blue, etc).
As I said earlier; rock the brown shoes and belt but go with a lighter brown... camel if you carry yourself with enough confidence that people tend to think "that dude has style" vs "wtf was he thinking" whenever you try something different (note; just making the bold move of going with camel will likely inspire folks to think style over idiot so give it fire and be confident in it). Additionally, since the suit is not formal you can get away with less formal shoes, oxfords are not required... I would say wingtips are as dressy as you should go with that, probably best to go with a loafer or desert boots if boots are your thing.
I would probably throw a white pocket square in there too... just something to break up the big field of bold blue.
I'm with Eric, I wouldn't normally wear something so bold; however, that is because I work in a conservative industry. If you are going to be bold (which you clearly are) then you need to do it right, so own that . |

All depends on the industry... you and I are in very conservative industries; however, if he's in a more dynamic field like entertainment, Technology, or in some types of sales it is a good choice. With the colour it can never be a formal suit so it should never be worn to a wedding, funeral, dinner, etc. |
