I'm a bit unsure of how I want to pair blues with a solid black suit. I've seen some of these guides online that often pair blue with lighter suits.... which I don't have.
The only thing I have close to a blue is a pool dress-shirt with a silver tie, both are solid. I do also have a striped tie consisting of blue/black/grey that is specifically for wearing with a white dress-shirt..... but white goes with practically everything.
Everything else that I have are in bolder Red/Maroon/Burgundy color and similar tie colors (striped with other colors like black, navy, and white.) The thing is, I don't want to wear these all the time because it brings a little too much attention in a room full of people that usually wear a bit more muted colors (note: shades of blue, white, pinks bordering white.)
I'm unsure of striking the right balance of not overdoing it (akin to black suit-white shirt-black tie.) To the more bold colors I've been heading to lately. Would a solid dress shirt, like this color along with a striped tie with blues and black be nice but not overdoing it?
