Ties. Why?

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

so you prefer the birthday suit?

I hate wearing them, especially the tie, its so restrictive, it's the first thing to go. Though i don't mind rapping it around my head and re-inacting scenes from Rambo...

Yes, and the tie can wrap round another part of his anatomy

I used to have to wear a tie and shirt to school. Such a pain

I quite like ties and I have a good few (although the ties for the last 5 years have been crap, in my opinion) but thats becase I don't have to wear them at work. If I did I would detest them.The ties survives because it's-with a few exceptions- the only part of menswear where colour , decoration and pattern can be displayed easily;the only relief from the miserable dullness of the males drab, sombre clothing.

You've not had the pleasure of seeing my gold & yellow ZootSuit.

Look !

The professional look is a dark suit / good shirt and a tie..thats simply the way it is ..

Sure the computer geeks will try and be different ...as will the so called creatives....freekin lazy arsed gees if you asked me ...can't be bothered to dress properly.

Even the so called "casual" gear that they profess to wear clearly has not been pressed or ironed just "thrun" in a dryer and then "thrun" on the wearer..probably matched with a horrible cargo pants festooned with zips and dangly bits...ugh.

As these fookoos get a bit older they try an inject a bit more formality into their appearence..

Then you get the jacket an skinny teeshirt look..think Bill Cullen or Dave Fanning..50/60 somethings trying to look trendy..oh dear.

Nice formal suit/ clean well pressed shirt ..a tie which complements the overall look..nice windsor knot....now thats class.

Ever notice a knacker funeral or wedding photos ?...fookoos initially look like their being garotted by the shirts an ties.. in no time the ties are unloosened shirts are outside the trousers and they revert to being the lazy slobs that they really are.

Don't be fooled into joining them !:eek:

It's not, really, It's just four items of clothing. Class is a character trait. I'll judge oul wans on their ability to iron clothes not men.

Hmmm.For that I suggest a more monochrome or small-patterned look, in red or a mid-blue perhaps.

However, what I dislike about the tie is the way it has been elevated into something more than a mere article of clothing by convention and tradition.The way it has acquired a strange 'fetishistic' status,standing for conformity, respectability,reliability and other male 20th century 'virtues'. The way that it is used to filter out those who 'belong' to those who don't. It is really ridiculous in this day and age that up to fairly recently men could be refused admittance to certain restaurants for not wearing a tie, no matter how well dressed they were otherwise. Although I think they are despicable in other ways, I admire the way Iranian diplomats refuse to wear them.

This link, originally posted by 'chin grin' in this thread above,is a perfect example of how with the doctors,the convention, the 'fetish', took precedence over practicality. It also illustrates the way that male dress convention,by-so to speak-putting all its eggs in one basket as to how to look respectable, denied itself other options. Without their ties, the doctors would feel odd,yet menswear doesn't offer many alternatives for looking professional without this piece of cloth. In fact on this very topic,I remember reading a letter to the style page of some newspaper or magazine from a doctor,at a loss as to how look the part without a tie.

You wear a tie knotted to suit the gape of the collar.
Narrow gape, narrow tie, narrow (four in hand)knot.
Wide gape, wide tie, full windsor.
Horses for courses really.
It only looks ridicolous when you get it wrong.

Nothing looks better than a guy in a three piece with properly knotted tie.

I don't have to wear them to work but do wear one at whatever chance I get. If nothing else you can run Hitman fantasies through your head while sitting in the church/funeral parlour etc.
