To top it off, a nice solid color, maybe with a bit of texture. Unless one wears a tie everyday for work, you'll find that you only need 5-6 ties to look sharp with any outfit you'd pull out to wear.

If your waistcoat is burgundy, though, I might wear a non-burgundy tie just to break things up a bit.

Best of luck!

Well stated David, and I concur completely. Ben Silver and Brooks Brothers are great resources for the specific neck ties David mentions - not too mention for dress shirts as well. And again, don't worry about matching - it looks far better when one does not! Good luck mate!

Yours aye,
