I wear a simple single-breasted suit, two buttons, no pleats, with a selection of different coloured shirts. Three of them are black, the others are purple, pink and red. Two are button-down, which I think looks smart unlike my compatriot above (as long as you don't forget to do the buttons - d'oh).
But he's right, you can't go wrong with a simple, plain shirt, straight collar. I'd add that a crisp, well-pressed, bleached clean white shirt can be rather striking, and presents a *very* professional appearance, in my opinion. Never ever wear a checked shirt in a business environment. They look geeky and way too casual, if you ask me.
As far as ties go, never wear a loud or 'wacky' tie. Cartoon characters are out, loud paisley. Go for blocks of colour with small patterns or thin stripes. Checks can be good on ties, but be careful that it's not too loud, and make sure the colours don't clash. A nice tie bar can be eyecatching and smart, and cufflinks to match never hurts. Even better if your watch and pen match too, lol.
