actually LIKE wearing ties?

nope..but I had one on Saturday...wedding....I spent four years in high school wearing those things and have been trying to avaiod them ever since!!! weddings or funerals only.

s.

does not bother me a bit, although I rarely wear them.

used to

I still enjoy wearing ties, but then again, I like French cuff shirts too, so count me in the wierd column.

I will say that I think "business casual" is the worst excuse for folks to look like they survived a war surplus explosion. What a reason to dress like hell.....business causual.

Nope,

they don't go well with the concert or nascar t-shirts i wear.

Color me starchy...but I still wear a tie to work everyday, even Friday. I have worn out my copy of "Dress for Success" and feel that business casual is a poor excuse for laziness.

But then again, I take my hat off at the dinner table and refuse to wear jeans to church.

I agree with you there charlie. Casual shouldn't mean cheap or ragged. It should mean Nat Nast or something similar 🙂

Soul and tee

They take business causal here in SoCal and push the extreme with it....torn jeans, unpressed shirts, look like they came straight from the swap meet to work.

I think Dress for Success was the best business book ever written.....should be required reading, and LOL about eating with a hat on, or going into a meeting wearing a ball cap.....it has gone far to over the edge and many folks take pride in how badly they can look.

I like ties ... most often, but not always, I wear one to work ... got one on now ... one of the many colorful Jerry Garcia ties I've got ...

I wear a tie about 3-4 times a year, maybe. But I don't mind it at all. And I do look very nice in a tie.

SteveS I have many J. Garcia ties, but I always reach for my Talbot ties for some reason. I like the way they tie.

also with the jg ties, as well as gdead and beatles ties. my biggest collection are winnie the pooh and friends ties. lots of disney and related ones; nightmare before christmas....

lots of others. maybe three or four conservative ties.

i wear 'em mon- thursday. friday is jeans and (nike)polo.

the punk rock in me used to hate 'em. now i love ties. can never have enough. personal motto is not to wear the same tie twice in the same year...

If you've got that many ties, you've sure got me beat ... for me to wear 'em 4 days a week and not wear the same tie twice in a year, I'd have to double the number of ties I currently have ... and I thought I had quite few ...

Haven't had to wear a tie to work in 13 years. It's GREAT!

Still have all of my 'dress for success' clothing, but haven't had

to wear anything but casual at my last to positions.

close to 250...although i do need to throw a few away... torn from motorcycle riding...maybe a polyester ugly thing my mother in law bought me...

I've got just more than 100 that are routinely wearable and another 4 or 5 dozen I'm not likely to wear ... not so much damaged but just no longer stylish or whatever ... a few that make me wonder what the hell I could have been thinking when I bought 'em, and so forth ...

my brother went to thailand and brought me one from there...

the joke went over well orally...written down, it kinda loses it...

naw, it still works just about as well ... LOL

I don't mind wearing them, but I don't have a reason to wear them very often.

I do have a tux, in fact I passed up a black tie event for my last poker game.
