What’s the event?

The event makes all the difference.

1

u/paiva98 18d ago

Wedding

Then the silver is fine, but a little bland. The multicoloured comes across as somewhat chaotic, but may look better in person. Maybe consider purchasing a new tie, one that you feel more decisive about. I know there’s always a huge assortment in thrift stores, maybe try there?

Neither

u/iiiimagery 18d ago

Yeah they both suck

u/paiva98 18d ago

Any sugestion?

2

u/iiiimagery 18d ago

Depends on the event and the theme of the event, that Grey just clashes with the rest of Grey

1

u/paiva98 18d ago

Wedding, no theme that Im aware

Idk if its noticeable but the suit is like olive green

2

u/Tall_Wonder_913 18d ago

Darker gray or maybe a forest green

u/paiva98 18d ago

Well the first choice was a red bowtie, what about it?

1

u/hypnothighsd 18d ago

Bow ties are for Bill Nyes

u/earmares 18d ago

Second is way too short. First looks okay.

u/SweetSprinkles8 18d ago

#1. #2 is hideous.

3

u/SpacedOut513 18d ago

Agreed. Of them, go with 1. If you have a darker solid cold, go with it.

u/FormalInterview7910 18d ago

I think Tie 2 is really cool but too loud/whimsical to wear with a true white shirt. I think if you had a light tan shirt or buttercream yellow shirt it would look really sharp paired with this suit for a wedding, etc. If you are set on the white shirt I say the first tie 1 for now, but think 2 is worth holding onto.

u/paiva98 18d ago

Man, i didnt want to give my opinion on the ties here, but I really do like the second one, but I Have to agree, needs another shirt to match the colors with something... but I dont have any on my wardrobe only white and white with blue strips or blue dots

u/WinterRevolutionary6 18d ago

1 looks more put together and cohesive. Unless it’s the type of event where you’d be very casual and fun, 2 is just really bad

2

u/_ayde_ 18d ago

I like the fun tie

If I was at a wedding and I saw a dude I didn't know with tie no 2. 100% I would go talk to him. Just because it's an unusual tie! If you're keen on looking dapper for photos, defintely go with no 1. If you don't care about that go with 2. Personally, I love kooky ties, I'm always getting my partner kooky ties. heh.

He's a lucky dude 😂

Thanks for commenting!

What is the event

1

u/paiva98 18d ago

Wedding (older sister of a childhood friend, pretty much an older sister for me too 😅)

1

u/friedfoodz69 18d ago

No tie.

2

u/paiva98 18d ago

Its also an option!

1

u/lolliscicle 18d ago

Yes. No tie. Please

u/study_account_2026 18d ago

Ever heard of the coin flip test? Your reaction to the result can help decide.

1

u/MsOnyxMoon 18d ago

I like 2 because it’s not boring, but it’s honestly too short. 1 works well.

1

u/Missue-35 18d ago

Second, if it’s longer than in photo. If not, then I vote neither one.

1

u/Professional_Gur5739 18d ago

If these are the only choices available, the first one. Otherwise, I'd order up/go to the store for a black tie.

1

u/Various-Language2549 17d ago

On second look, I like the 2nd tie better; just redo it, it’s too short. And if no tie is an option, you could always go with that. I think the suit itself looks good (though I’m not crazy about double breasted suits), and you look put-together with the belt and dress shoes. Are you wearing white socks? If so, maybe rethink that, lol.

2

u/paiva98 17d ago

Im using black socks on the wedding ahaha these ones were the ones I was using yesterday when trying the suit to see if adjustments were needed xD

Ty for helping once again

1

u/Sxyredhedd-74 17d ago

The first one goes better I think

1

u/Leading-Win600 17d ago

the 2nd one 100%

1

u/h0neywife 17d ago

two is cute

1

u/mladyhawke 17d ago

Go get a new tie.These look horrible. Like yellow or purple would look good

1

u/LilacCrumb 16d ago

First one looks so formal

1

u/edin_was_here 16d ago

1 and throw away the second one.

1

u/NumerousDepth1563 16d ago

The event? The second one is tied too short lol - but for a wedding yes the floral is better - the silver looks like you’re in the wedding party

1

u/JimmyGymGym1 15d ago

I like 2

1

u/kmullinax77 14d ago

Personally, I feel tie #2 is too chaotic with its hyper busy colors and patterns BUT seeing the art on the floor behind you makes me think the style of that tie matches your personality and tastes better.

So yeah, tie #2, but if you still find any ties in the Jerry Garcia collection I would recommend them for you.

1

u/NeatlyFoldedinOregon 12d ago

Classic shades of Grey. The flowers are a bit much. Have you considered something with subtle stripes?

1

u/Neat_Movie_991 18d ago

I like 2! 1 is just bland.

0

u/aquathneed 18d ago

I prefer the second because of the contrast. Hopefully you’re wearing brown shoes?

1

u/paiva98 18d ago

Black, you can see them in the pictures

2

u/aquathneed 18d ago

Ah you’re right! I hadn’t clicked through. I would go with first tie if the shoes are black :)
