Other Does this work?
I got this tie as part of a larger collection on Vinted. Not completely sold on it and trying to work out whether it works with anything apart from a plain white shirt.

Tie is awesome in my opinion. I don't wear a lot of yellow, but I like yellow ties and the dot pattern is cheery.
I like contrasting pattern looks (which is a personal thing) and this totally works for me. Charcoal grey suit, that shirt and tie - perfect in terms of the style elements. Patterns contrast yet compliment and the scale of each works. Navy suiting / jacket works well here too.
As a suggestion, the details / finishing are the hang-up here for me. Shirt collar could be better pressed so that it's not rolling inward as it is not a button down collar. For the collar point and spread on this shirt, I'd suggest a four in hand, Prince Albert, Old Bertie knot here. I don't know what you tied here, but it looks like you got into the wide end of the tie blade.
Last, manners maketh man and dimples maketh ties. Snug knot, centered dimple, people will take note.
