Ties. Why?

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.

€20 says OP can't tie a tie.

poisonated · 19-05-2009 07:11PM

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!

Aidric · 19-05-2009 07:42PM

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

DarkJager · 19-05-2009 07:44PM

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:

I'd do filthy things here. Tbh.

Jesus christ, does he get dressed in the dark? A TIE SHOULD NEVER BE DANGLING DOWN OVER THE CROTCH!!

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.

upmeath · 19-05-2009 08:33PM

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.

DARKIZE · 19-05-2009 09:03PM

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

But they make good presents when you can't think of anything more imaginative to buy.

Ties. Why?
