Tie or stock with tweed for ODE?

So I'm off eventing in a couple of weeks. It's only 70 cms but I normally do showing so looking the part means a lot to me ;-)
I understand tweed is more correct for low level eventing but should I wear I tie or a stock with it? And if it's a stock should I wear my green and yellow one or my cream one (normally worn with my navy jacket) or could I even get away with my american collar?
Mostly I just don't want the dressage judge to take an instant dislike to us because we're dressed wrong and mark us harshly as a result. (Yes, I know how ridiculous this sounds!)

I'd be inclined to say the green and yellow stock (providing it goes well with the tweed). I believe this is more correct than wearing cream/white with tweed and personally I think a well tied stock looks smarter than a tie. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I always use stock with tweed. I have a green one with gold spots that I use for eventing as goes with my green tweed (horse's colours are green too)

Stock with tweed mine is burgandy with gold spots to match the check in my jacket. Us eventers like looking posh too haha

Green & yellow stick with green tweed it is. Thanks all.

Should be a coloured stock with tweed. White (cream) for navy/black 😀
