What are some tie colors that go well with a chocolate brown suit for conservative business dress?

[forbritisheyes]

Hey all,

I have a chocolate brown herringbone suit of nearly this exact color:

I'm trying to come up with tie colors to wear with it as a brown suit doesn't seam all that versatile(buyer's remorse & too late to return). I found this thread which has been helpful. I basically understand that navy and pink are good to go as well as a dark burgundy, which I like less. Does anyone else have suggestions as to what to wear with a brown suit of this color? I only have white and blue shirts so expanding to light pink or ecru isn't really an option. Would love some help on this one.

Think about what goes well with chocolate.
Strawberries, coffee, cream, etc.

Brown suit =/= conservative business dress.

No tie can change this.

Repp stripes
Dark knits

Yes, hence the buyer's remorse. I can't very well sell it at this point though. Fortunately, the place I work at is quite lax. So I'm asking for advice on tie colors that would make it look as conservative as possible. Any more suggestions?

I haven't seen any examples of Strawberries, coffee, cream colored ties done well so if you have any good ones, please share.

Try a blue shirt and a navy tie.

Yes, apart from the conservative business dress discussion, dark blue, navy.

Thanks. Apart from the colors I mentioned and ones that have been mentioned (because most were in the thread I already found), does anyone have any new input or pictures to share for ideas?

Rust or orange works very well with brown
