obviously this isn’t revolutionary but if you’re wanting a more formal look this is an easy win . i’m partial to a tie with a bit of texture vs a flat weave , a grenadine or a silk knit is great for this , it adds some depth & interest to the outfit without being too loud . if you are more of a pattern person i think a navy & burgundy/wine combo could be nice , there’s one here in a flat silk weave & here’s a beautiful navy & brown stripe
i’d pair any of these ties with a navy sock to bring it together .
also take a look at the stores & see if anything else catches your eye & i’d especially recommend wearing the shirt & jacket one day & just going to try some things on wherever they have ties near you

you could go for a green or blue shirt for example and that opens you up to other ties. Light blue shirt with a dark / navy blue tie or green on green could be nice. I ’ll also a big fan of brown/beige with black so that could be a fun way to try out new styles w your black suit :)

not a fashion expert but i do spend a lot of time scrolling through depop and buying new clothes ! the best advice i can give is that a shirt with a little bit of spice can never go wrong, whether that’s a unique colour, an interesting pattern or a nice material. this shirt i bought is my go-to formalwear and i usually combo it with a pair of tux trousers or even some corduroys if im feeling experimental. shoe wise cant go wrong with a pair of browns (I can typically get away with wearing some brown docs for a formal event but you do whats appropriate). jacket not needed but certainly an option. hope the search goes well!

I've started to wear navy ALL the time, usually in place of black. Black trousers? I’m slapping on the navys. navy socks, navy hats, navy tees! It looks better with most colors and there’s tons of beautiful variants in tones (I love a deeeep navy that feels like the depths of midnight). I don't know why it took me so long to realize this?? Navy with tan-tones is timeless and the most pleasing of color combos to my little eyes. I'm trying to think NAVY first from now on.

it’s the perfect length for me to watch after work , i can start a movie at 11 or even 12 & get to bed at the (mostly) reasonable hour of 1:30 at the latest . sometimes i will extend this to 100 or 110 min if i‘m feeling indulgent or ambitious .
i could watch an hour of tv but this gives me a whole story in only a little bit more time .
