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

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

Think of the fortune you'll make for the communion though.

That'll show your crypto-fascist parents.

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.

How to tie a tie.

Snowie · 20-05-2009 05:14AM

Nothing like having a suit on with a big PHAT Windsor knot....

and if you cant tie a Windsor you shouldn't be wearing a tie....

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 · 20-05-2009 11:18AM

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 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.

If you turn up at a meeting and you can't do something as simple as dress for the part then I'd be thinking that your work/product is probably slipshod too and would show a bias towards the person who has at least made the attempt to present themselves properly. It's a first impression thing.
Having said that I'd still listen to your pitch but you would already be on the back foot.

I agree that business should not be run like that but...[shrug]...thats the way it is.

That's a problem too. Women are the one's who should be wearing the clothes that impress men, not the other way around.

Seems a little short-sighted to me. I'm already working out which suit I'll wear to the AH Beers.

I like wearing a stylish tie, but it's gotta be a skinny tie with slim fit shirt!
