Honestly any color is okay with a navy suit. A nice dark blue, maroon, or dark green looks good. Just I personally don't like anything other than a plain color tie with a very subtle pattern on it. Striped or dotted ties look really outdated and draw unnecessary attention. Go to Saks Off Fifth for a nice tie without paying more than $50.
Stripes/dotted are fine just make sure its a quality tie and not too "loud"
The Tie Bar is great for inexpensive, quality ties.
For an interview, boring is best. Stick to dark red or blue - either solid or with a very subtle pattern. The conventional wisdom: you want them to look at your face, not your tie.
^ Exactly. Keep it simple.
The classic version always works best :)
Agree with that...
I'm here with the others. The classic version always works best. Especially, when you don't know what to wear. Additionally, choosing a tie for a navy suit is very simple as navy goes almost with everything. I do see, however, the struggle here when anything looks good. This makes the decision even worse and harder.
Anyway, did you choose your tie? Which one did you take in the end?
