Are Ties a thing of the past.

[Yorkshire Blue]

I think it's a shame we are seeing the demise of the type of retired old bloke that wears a tie every day and arrives at the paper shop at 6am to pick up their paper.

They are, literally, a dying breed.

Rubbish. Ties are as outdated as bowler hats and penny farthings.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree, old chap! I'm rather fond of them myself...

:p

I don't mind them as I only wear them for 'special occasions' such as today as I have a sports awards to attend. If I had to wear one everyday though I would probably change my mind and hate them.

I quite like ties still. It is always handy to keep a few silk ones incase you have to tie somebody to the bed.:D

 

[canveyshrimper]

A well-cut suit, the touch of rich cotton and a thick silk tie. These are all pleasures of life, and you're all denying yourselves. 'Tis a shame...

Matt

Agreed. However I do like dress down day on Friday.

I hate them. When I was working in the City, I had an argument with my boss about wearing a tie. I said that I shouldn't have to, seeing as I was stuck in a basement with no contact with the public but he said that it was company policy that ties should be worn. I retorted that ties were only functional to hold the shirt together at the collar and since I had buttons, they were no longer applicable. He insisted, so I asked whether it was important what I wore around my neck to keep the shirt together; he said no. So the following day a colleague and I arrived at work both wearing a rope around our necks. I never wore a tie again ...

I worked with a bloke and when he started at the company wore a tie every day. Eventually he decided he would not wear one again, and eventually the MD gave him the Spanish Archer.

I saw him a few weeks ago at the company he has worked for since, resplendent in neck wear.

Ties for big occasions and Client meetings with long sleeved shirts only.

1, British men and their inability to look good in anything. Hundreds of thousands of men turning up for meetings in ties with cartoon characters on them. There's a good way to kill a trend.

ha ha my old maths teacher used to wear a winnie the pooh tie, now that is gay. Just got my prom suit and have gone for a cravate (tie in french?) which is much nicer

I have to wear a tie to work everyday and I don't mind them. Mind you I don't do my top button up and my tie isn't pulled all the way to my neck anyways.

[andrew_sthnd]

Tbh i like wearing a tie. I think if worn right it can look really smart. However, I'm starting a new job in August and due to the fact that i work in IT nobody cares what you wear so its simply trousers and a t-shirt!

 

[Firestorm]

Ties and jumpers ...wtf is that all about.
old boys with thier ties outside the offending knitwear even worse.........

 

[McNasty]

I wear one every day. Somewhat strange for the manager of a nudist camp, don't you think!

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

Can't beat a neatly pressed double cuff shirt with a smart set of cufflinks and tie. I always find the half-windsor knot gives the tie some real oomph as well.
