Over the years, I've observed that those events get on just fancy and people are just as married or just as dead whether I'm there or not.

At this point in my life, I'm wearing a tie only at funerals and weddings. 25 years ago, I wore one every day I was working.

Wore one 5-6 days a week for a dozen years. Boss was retired Navy. You wore a suit, not slacks and a jacket. White long sleeve shirt w/tie. Wing tips. I see these guys with a jacket and colored dress shirt, no tie and it doesn’t look right to me. My son has had to dress up for a class last fall some big shots were coming to speak. We got him a couple suits. If you’re going to do it, do it right I told him.

Saw some sweet wing tips at a couple different stores. If I still had to wear a suit I’d be all over those shoes. Lol

Neck ties are the topic, and the discussion has turned more to apparel in general.

Customs and tastes vary widely. So do our work situations, and thus the related choices about apparel. Aside from tastes, customs and work situations - some folks make comfort and simplicity the top priority. That's not all of it - but it's all OK in my mind.

I might have a reaction in certain situations, but I express no opinion or critique about the clothing choices of others. Your choice - your business - look the way you wish to look.

That said, why do some people feel the need to smirk, comment critically or put down those who tend to dress up and according to the occasion. What is the problem when a guy wears a classy suit/dress shirt/silk tie and fine matching shoes (let alone the belt/socks/pocket square) in a situation where others may dress less?

We all make personal choices about the events we attend. All very good, but based on generally expected apparel? Why would that be?

You're right, but I see improper apostrophe use all the time. It's a doofus world.
Nothing doofus about the apostrophe. It completely changes the meaning of the word. There's a big difference between possessive and plural. You need to say what you mean. Our modern schools are turning out a generation of illiterates.

I prefer to not wear a tie (or a suit for that matter) but have no problem doing so when needed. I do like the general "down dressing" that has become common at many functions but believe there is still a place for ties and suits.

My ex wife used to wear ties a lot. They looked better on her than me. To be truthful though, she was crazy. [Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

I think neck ties are best used for tying bundles of books together.

My post could be construed to denigrate those who are in white collar positions.

It wasn't actually.

I guess I did mean it to put down those who are Dressing Up.

I come from people with stained, callused hands, and mine are too.
No apologies for it, proud in fact. I don't belong in those clothes and am
not comfortable in the company of those who do. Don't need a tie and a fancy
restaurant to affirm me, or make for a good evening. The family can go out to
the Dew Drop Inn, have wings and fries, while wearing jeans and workbooks,
and be happy. In our lane, with our people. Can we dress nicer and continue to
use decent manners in a snazzy place? Easy! It's the attitude that I don't like.


It is not about money either.
Folks in there with us could buy out the debits of the dressed up crowd at the Omni, with cash, and not be broke.

It always seemed odd that we add an unnecessary strip of cloth around our neck to "Dress Up". crazy

We do a lot of strange things to "fit in" with society.
