Can you wear a black bow tie with any color shirt in a suit?

Question

or does the shirt have to be white?

Answer 1

A real gentleman would only wear a white shirt while dressed formal. Many guys go overboard, which tends to take attention away from his lovely lady. Don't forget to polish your shoes!

It may seem boring, but a white shirt, black tie, and black tux is the way to go. Have your boutonniere match her dress if you need some color.

You'll be stylin' dude!

Answer 2

No! Any color works! Black matches every color, and looks polished in almost every situation. As a risk, try a light pink shirt, black pants, and a bow tie.

Answer 3

1] is black the color of the suit/pants? Otherwise, match the suit color, or shirt color, in solids or prints.
2] black goes with every color well except brown or tan.

Answer 4

Does anyone wear any sort of tie with a suit these days.
I think you can if it pleases you.
