    It might just be the picture, but it looks like if anything the tie washes out a little too much relative to the shirt.

        I’m not a big fashionista or anything but I would also say that the tie is not a good fit.

        It needs to go on something it can contrast with and there it just sort of blends in.

    I have no male fashion hobby or interest, but as a layman lurker from /new, I think it looks great.

      Also not a regular here, but my first impression is that the gray is an issue here. I think that the pink and the gray would work well, especially with other cooler tones, or lean in on the warm brown with the pink instead (maybe with a dark brown vest?).

          It’s impossible to give advice on color if the lighting was bad for the picture.
          To be honest, all the colors look completely off to me.
          But I can’t tell if it’s my screen, your screen while you white-balanced the image, the lighting or the actual color of the clothes.

            Fair. I only realized the blue looked off when I read the comment. The brown and pink do seem to match how they look irl tho

    I don’t think so. The patterns are clashy, and neither color really is playing as an accent… But I think the worst part is the white collar against the pink tie TBH. To me this is loud but doesn’t say anything.

    Edit: then again, basically no matter what vest, shirt and tie you bring to me I’m going to say no, esp if you’re going to accessorize as a train conductor… But you know, I might not be the target audience.

      Pocket watch chain I attach to my smartphone. I feel like smartphones today are like pocket watches of old - mobile devices we use to stay in sync with the rest of the world.

          Not sure, but you should be able to find a vintage one for sure.

          Fun fact: most jeans have a tiny pocket inside the right side pocket. That is specifically meant for a pocket watch that you can chain to a belt loop.

    Imo the tie and shirt do work together, but they’re both quite light and washed-out, so the waistcoat being much darker than both prevents the tie from popping out the way it should. To rephrase : if I squint, I can’t really make out the tie from the shirt compared to the waistcoat.

    Changing just one thing, a rich/dark red tie or perhaps a lighter waistcoat might work well here.

    Otherwise I think you’re pretty fly :)
