The right tie and shirt combination for a stone-coloured linen suit?

I own a stone-coloured linen suit. Thus far, I have worn it with a white shirt and a burgundy tie with gold stripes. It looks okay but I would like to add some variety. What colour shirt and tie combinations would you suggest?

Blue goes very well with stone, I would personally go for a darker shade of a solid blue (Mid Blue or French Blue) and a tie with a highlight of the shirt colour in a regimental stripe would look great – or a horizontal striped knitted tie would add modern twist.

Hi Dan,

Light blue shirts work nicely with stone coloured suits. You can also try a navy based tie with gold stripes. That's my favorite summer combination.
