Ties. Why?

K4t

A suit and shirt is perfectly presentable imo. Can't stand wearing ties. Let's just stop wearing them. They're ****e.

Yeah but a tie adds that extra bit of formality. I like ties.

Any reason to wear a tie is a good reason. Especially to a scumbag's court appearance when they wear adidas hoodies

I agree with you but I'm not sure if you have the charisma to lead the revolution.

Ties are like testicles - they always hang down from a prick.

Some of us have to wear ties for work.

Personally I don't mind them at all, they're not a big deal when you wear them all the time.

You do however see a lot of travellers wearing suits and open shirts without ties.

I suppose it depends on what look you're going for.

If you all quit wearing ties, I'm gonna buy one and take all your jobs.

Becuase the tie is the only thing keeping you there, obviously.

Can I get in on that?

I hate the whole formal dress full stop. The usual bloke in his shirt and tie and the girl who comes in some casual trousers and a more casual top.

Grr!

I wear one for work every day, no problems with that. A decent silk tie rounds off the formal look perfectly.

Its like tieing a decorative noose around your neck every day

They're a fashion statement. Like every other piece of clothing you wear. Maybe it's not as necessary, but the world would be a sad place if everybody wore the same clothes.

Bite your tongue! How dare you slate all ties! :mad:

Way too long. Looks more like a leash. I don't mint ties. I absolutely hate clip ons though as you can't loosen the top button on a warm day.

Ties are grand, its the fecking buttoned up shirt collars that are a nightmare.

I only wear a tie when the occasion demands. At work or on nights out, not a hope, it'd want to be a big family occasion (eg wedding or graduation) for me to don a tie.

Then it's not a tie, it's a yoke of oppression.

I find I automatically distrust anyone wearing a suit and/or tie.

Good for tying down the GF to the bed. Not with the expensive silk ones obviously.

• Nurses have to hear a uniform
• Dentists have to wear a gown/scrubs
• Supermarket workers wear name tags
• Undertakers wear dark suits
• Fast food workers wear a uniform

None of these things are 100% necessary but that's the way life is sometimes.

I'd be more worried about people who have trouble trusting others because they wear one!

Off with ties, anything that restricts exposure to my hairy chest and bling is a no no

Ties are like testicles. If you don't have them, you're not a man.

I couldn't agree more. A more ridiculous and puritanical fashion accessory is hard to imagine in 2009. Totally pointless, stuffy, victorian, and repressed. Suffocating. Seriously dark ages fashion promoted by neurotics and insecure people!

If more people had the independence of mind to follow Chuck Feeney (who wears a $15 watch, slacks, runners and a top but is worth billions) or Richard Branson, fashion might advance from the 19th century.

Thankfully in many if not most state jobs, you are allowed wear smart casual. A big plus as far as I was concerned.

I think a suit and tie look lovely on a man, it just adds that extra touch..

I love ties and suits. They make me look like a grown-up.

Is this tie nonsense in essence being pushed by wimmin? My bird is always trying to hang one around me telling me how 'nice' it would look. Mar dhea!

I'd have to wonder if I heard a guy talking about how 'nice' a tie would look.

What if Mammy ties it for you at the start of the year and then you just loosen it and hang it up every night and tighten it around your neck each morning?

/Shudders
Some shirts can be worn without ties, collarless shirts or polonecks so if you want to wear a suit then try those. However I imagine that your reluctance to wear a tie is that you've never had a shirt that fits properly resulting in 'strangling' restricted feelings. The majority of suits are cut to be worn with a tie, it is part of the suit. Not wearing a tie is the sartorial equivelent of rowing a boat with only one oar, it can be done but it's difficult.

Can't stand wearing ties. Let's just stop wearing them. They're ****e.

You can stop wearing them if you like, I want my ties. They're pretty.

Earthhorse

Ties may look the shit but they also feel like shit. I don't like any restriction around the neck area thank you. I say no.

I like ties, so go away.

I f***in hate ties, but if sitting in on meetings has thought me anything its that most business suits think like the pointy haired manager from dilbert: If you aren't wearing a tie then they're less inclined to award you a deal or take you seriously. Especially when your competition gave them a fuzzy feeling of corporate kinship by showing up avec ties.

Doesnt matter how much sense you're making, they're just sitting there thinking "but he isnt wearing a tie"

It's completely retarded but it's true.
