Default What colour shirt and tie with a black suit ?????

Just bought a black pin stripe suit as i have a few weddings coming up.

I cant decide on what colour shirt and tie to buy !

is dark grey a no no with a black suit ?

someone reckons light grey shirt and tie would be ok.


I cant decide...i hate this shite !!!

I wear a black suit to work. Light sky blue shirt with the right tie looks good. White shirt, red tie and red cuff links look good.

Depends what effect u want.

Cheers
