| 646733 | 2008-03-06 23:59:00 | Agree! People who wear ties without, at least, a tie clip or tack, look silly with their tie flopping everywhere. Much worse than that is to have the fold at the back hanging lower than the fold in front :eek: Misty :) |

| 646734 | 2008-03-07 11:05:00 | I can only think of two reasonable uses for a tie: To disguise the fact that there are buttons missing from the front of one's shirt. or to provide a convenient aid to strangulation of the wearer. Surely the prime requirement of any garb is to be comfortable, and how in the hell can one be comfortable, and efficient, with a bloody tie round ones neck preventing the wearer from having reasonable ventilation to the upper body. The convention of wearing a jacket, when temperature and comfit dictates that it would be a smart thing to dispense with one is equally stupid. I can remember a rare occasion of a hot summers night in the UK, and all the officers an RAF Officers Mess bar, on a fairly busy evening had removed their jackets out of common sense. A senior officer entered and insisted that all present observe mess rules and wear a jacket or leave - common sense dictated, and the new arrival spent a very quiet night on his own as every one departed for the local pub. The only dress convention that should apply is that clothing should be clean and in good repair. Since moving to Brisbane 3 years ago I haven't worn a suit, or a jacket or tie and that suits me just fine. |

| 646736 | 2008-03-07 12:12:00 | Still looking forward to hear Metla's response. ;) Then prepare to be under-whelmed.... Formal occasions I do my best to wear a clean T-Shirt, sometimes a collerd shirt, But I do my best to wear one with a dragon or flames on it. I don't notice or care what anyone else is wearing on social occasions, well, apart from the ladies. Anyhow, I would hate to have any job that made me have close contact with anybody who dressed in a suit to go to work. |

| 646737 | 2008-03-07 14:00:00 | I have made a personal vow to never again wear a tie. Never ever. Not even at my mother's funeral. This archaic form of men's fashion is ludicrous. I mean really, this accoutrement is a f****** useless piece of s***! I couldn't agree more....... I have a little theory (yes I know I read that link about the history of ties but.......) a tie is really a rope around your neck........many centuries ago a LOT of people had ropes around their necks.....it was pretty common. If you were poor you were a 'serf' or, even worse a slave..... the tie served two purposes 1: To be a handy way to restrain you and lead you around if necessary 2: To identify you by the colours woven into it (your lords/owners colours) essentially a tie is a coloured rope around your neck. I wont wear a tie under any circumstances i believe they're about the stupidest 'fashion accessory' ever.........I will wear a bow tie (did on my wedding day - and actually it looked ok !) |

| 646739 | 2008-03-07 21:33:00 | There's nothing wrong with the person who invented it; but the person(s) who made it a 'must' for formal occations is (are) damn stupid! The stupid tie doesn't make a man look smarter; or rather they make them look stupid and silly. | bk T (215) | ||
| 646740 | 2008-03-07 21:42:00 | Ties have a time and a place. I'd say last century and in the rubbish bin. However, I voted 'undecided' because sometimes you want to give the impression that you conform or you want to pay your respects to a deceased family member etc. I say 'impression that you conform' because few self-respecting blokes would willingly wear a tie - more often than not it is worn for someone else's benefit. | andrew93 (249) | ||
| 646741 | 2008-03-08 00:34:00 | Well from the point of veiw of some one who doesnt wear one . . . . . . . . . yes they may be useless, but on a guy who is dressed nicely and matches the occasion with style, suit / jacket etc who happens to look nice - colour coordinated just fine, groomed, smells nice, hair burshed etc . . . . can look kinda sexy . . . . . . . . . . . . especially if he is your partner . . . . . . . . . (meaning the females partner here) . sigh . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . beetle:rolleyes: |
