(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best ties & bow ties

Excellent idea! This was the highest quality and most gay-flag resembling tie I could find on Amazon and I've been happy with it. I highly recommend it and even got a few compliments from ostensibly straight males :) 🌈👔

You know the people who stock at the grocery store, and the painters/construction workers you see all the time, and all the cashiers you encounter during your everyday life? They're people too! And far too often people just act like they're some robot doing a job and they don't exist. I can't bear to ignore a person, though, especially someone who's doing a job that benefits me that I wouldn't want to do (such as construction). So I always make a point to genuinely ask how they're doing. A lot of the time people will kind of be taken aback because so few people actually ask how they are doing, but I like to think it makes at least some of them happier :-)

Rainbow tie!

Thanks for responding. I've started collecting the light blue shirts (up to 4). I was thinking my shirt like this (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/john-w-nordstrom-trim-fit-egyptian-cotton-dress-shirt/3160584?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=john_w._nordstrom(r)_trim_fit_egyptian_cotton_dress_shirt:345762&cm_pla=tops:men:dress-shirt&cm_ven=Froogle&mr:referralID=NA&mr:trackingCode=52795408-A9AE-E011-8116-001517B1882A) but cheaper with a red tie (due to the occasion). These were a few I was considering Red1 or Red2 or Red3. I don't own any navy ties do you think something like this or this would be appropriate in general?

Thank you again for taking the time to help already.

I have a job interview and own a charcoal suit (it is on the darker side) and am going to wear a white shirt under it. Kind of looks like this picture except for tie:

I also want to get a darker blue tie to wear with it. I have light skin with dark hair and blue eyes and a wider frame. Are any of these ties good, and if not, what store should I go to and buy one at?

Thanks for the help, I am really new to this and appreciate any advice.

Helmet: Sequel (episode 7 or 8) stormtrooper helmet https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Awakens-Stormtrooper-2-Piece/dp/B00TP50V4Q/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1541091183&sr=8-17&keywords=star+wars+stormtrooper+helmet

Jacket: White, single breasted, looks like a shawl lapel except they usually don't come to a point like that? Might be a single notch fish mouth and you don't see the seem because it's so dark? Looks like an Italian cut to my eye, but not an expert. This you'd have to get at a tailor or store specializing in mens suits

Tie: White silk tie https://www.amazon.com/Neckties-Microfiber-Woven-Satin-Finish/dp/B00OEF002K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1541091156&sr=8-2&keywords=white+silk+tie

Shirt: Just a black dress shirt you can buy at any dress clothing store or online

Gloves: Just looks like some black and white costume gloves. Take your pick what you think looks good https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=black+and+white+costume+gloves&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ablack+and+white+costume+gloves

here's the original post: http://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/comments/1ik7g6/saw_someone_wearing_this_does_anyone_know_where_i/

After everyone's advice, I decided to try and make one myself. I actually found another design online I liked and made a second one.

The results were pretty decent for the little expense and effort. I had to do some touch-ups with a black permanent marker (I tried to zoom in on the photo so you could see), but from a natural distance the touch-ups are invisible.

Here's how I did it:

1. bought a $2.56 tie from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/TopTie-Solid-Skinny-Black-Necktie/dp/B003YXUKKA/ref=sr_1_4?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1375653579&sr=1-4
   
   
2. taped the pattern out on the tie using Scotch Blue edge lock tape http://www.scotchblue.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Scotch-BlueBrand/Scotch-Blue/Resources/Edge-Lock-Protector/
   
   
3. used flat white spray paint I bought from Walmart for 98 cents. Sprayed 3 coats. Waited roughly a half-hour between coats, then let dry entirely.
   
   
4. Removed the tape.
   
   
5. Used a black permanent marker to touch-up the bleed from the white paint 'caused by the texture of the tie fabric.
   
   Overall, I'm pleased with the results, especially 'cause it took maybe an hour of on-and-off work total (for both ties together, not counting dry time) and it cost less than $4 bucks per tie.

Brown pants, white shirt collared (short and long sleeved), blue/brown stripe tie, blue wool tie, beard (shaggy), thick lens glasses with black rim and thick cloth safely strap, im contemplating a super short haircut. Its pretty long right now.

Another picture. It has a navy base with a thick stripe that goes dark green, white, black, white, dark green.

I looked all over Google but I couldn't find the same design and colors anywhere. Similar design 1, 2, 3

Your best bet will be to custom order it.

Edit: Slightly better picture.

I bought myself this necktie (the black and tan variant), and people seem to love it. That being said, I see your post says "she," so I'm not sure how much it helps... Great question, though! Interested in the results myself.

What color accessories will she be wearing? May want to wear something to complement that. if she is wearing silver accessories, you could go with something like this -

I would love to meet John Mayer!! He's my musical inspiration and I would never be at the point in my guitar playing that I am now if not for his work!!

Edit: The most attractive thing is confidence, if something doesn't feel like "you" don't get it.

Thanks, this is helpful. I'm just not sure about the gray.

How about khakis/light blue shirt with a teal/jade tie like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Fan-tastik-Eco-friendly-Handmade-Cashmere-Solid/dp/B00ZFERMS4?ie=UTF8&keywords=dark%20teal%20tie&qid=1465313884&ref_=nav_signin&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1) and for the officiant a dark blue vest like this.

Would make sure the ties match the color of the dresses and the vest matches the color of the jacket well enough in person.

I just ordered my tie!
