I like brown ties both solid and patterned.

I have been seen wearing a chocolate necktie that has light blue dots, a blue end on end shirt,  gray sharkskin suit and brown semi-brogues.

It is a bigger color in Italy than in England.

I like brown with a grey suit, though I generally match my tie to my shirt and not my suit.

that was kind of my point, pretty much any tie goes with a white shirt.  So, I would assume in that case your phlosophy chages frm trying to match the shirt.  Therefore, when wearing a white shirt do you adopt the aforementioned philosphy of working the tie with the suit rather than with the shirt as you do when you wear patterned or colored shirts.

love the navy tie with a charcoal suit and love the navy suit, white shirt, orange tie. I am quite fond of the navy/white/orange combination but it has to be a the right orange tie.  IMO, orange ties either look either spectacular or dreadful, but i like them.  FNB, I find your philosphy on ties very interesting and similar to what my viewpoint has been evolving into.  Texture is something that I am not knowledgable on yet, but it is something i hope to explore more in the future in regards to ties.  I think most american men view the tie as its own entity, rather than as a piece of an outfit.  This can result in some horrible looking situations.  ITs like a women's handbags where it has nothing to do with the rest of her outfit and it looks terrible.

I would only wear brown ties with a brown suit or sport jacket, but certainly the can be worn with a blue, yellow or probably even a pink shirt.

Sorry, but I just don't think a brown tie goes with a grey or navy suit, but chacun a son gout.

Toujours.
