I like ties - I think a shirt and tie looks smart.......guess it's all about taste.

Nothing better than a nice suit, shirt and silk tie. I always feel more comfortable in that than a casual outfit.
My employers demanded that I wear the suit and etc so after nearly 40 years it has become the norm for me. |

I once knew a bloke who hung himself with a tie.

By:
suits are the most uncomfortable thing u could dress in. whoever devised the suit is a class a idiot.
wearing a shirt and tie all day long in summer weather is torture. |

By:
I always feel comfortable in a suit YOMOMMA.
I guess it is what you are used to that makes the difference. I favoured a dark coloured suit and white shirt. |
|
By:
As I said.....it's all about 'class'.........not surprised some people don't get that.
|
|
By:
Because a buttoned shirt looks smarter than an unbuttoned one and and wearing a top button done without a tie makes you look like a wierdo/beast.

for me nothing classy about having to wear a stuffy suit in hot weather. manageable at other times.
|
|
By:
hot weather? where do you live?
|
|
By:
You can get suits made of a light material YOMOMMA.
A mohair suit for instance is very light. Not as if we get fantastically long or hot summers is it? |
|
By:
I've worn ties pretty much all my working life. You can tell a lot about someones dress sense. That and their shoes and handshake. A wibbly wobbly handshake is a complete non runner, for me.

i hate having to shake peoples' hands, most folk don't wash them after going to the toilet.

i hate lots of things but such is life i suppose.

Black highly polished shoes for me Slippy.
Occasionally wore other colours when wearing different coloured suits but always felt better with black suit and black shoes for some reason. Could never be scuffed or worn down. |
|
By:
YOMAMMA - have to agree with that one...most people pull/press the flush before they wash their hands anyway.....lost cause really.
|
|
By:
yes they should learn some hygiene. i'm calling it a day, bye.

By:
Brogues for me akabula, old school here. Who doesn't wash their hands after going to the toilet?

funerals and weddings garb for most

.......and respectable, class garb for some. (dyng breed - admitted)

and interviews

the one thing i can tell about someone who wears a suit and a tie is, they have a boss.
|
|

do you wear a suit? |
|
By:
...or .....they are the boss
 |
|
By:
Nothing says class so much as a cravat, monocle, pink silk handkerchief and of course spats.

thats very true. I'm actually wearing all that gear now |
|
By:
Ah yes but there are many imitators around. Are you the real deal? Do you also possess the rear cut out chaps with red rose hanging seductively from your bum cheeks?
You either have it or you don't. Well sir. Do you? |
|
By:
Used to love ultra-thin straight raw silk ties in the 80's.
You don't get straight ties now.  |
|
By:
I haven't worn a tie since school , and that was cut to the minimum
|
|
By:
Kipper ties
 Who thought them up. |
|
By:
No , i used to do mine up backwards , with the tiny end just showing
 |
|
By:
I did wear a shirt to a funeral once , open collar with no tie
 |
|
By:
i havent wore a tie in about 20 years. never wore a suit in my life.
its all about perceptions, when people in suits look at me they no doubt think im poor and uneducated. when i look at them, i think they look soulless and stuck in a dead end job. i think of reggie perrin. not saying im right, im probably not. but i dont see it as aspirational, quite the opposite. |
|
By:
yeah i went to a funeral of a relative. first time id wore trousers as opposed to jeans in about 5 years. no tie or jacket though. probably wouldnt bother going to another one, im atheist and the whole thing seems utterly pointless to me.
|
|
By:
No Bob. It's all about choice. When I go somewhere like a nice restaurant or the casino I like to dress up.
|
|
By:
I do think it looks smart tbh
I can scrub up quite cool if needed to , but i have no need to I bought a pack of 3 x plain white T-shirts recently , best recent purchase i've made , look really clean now with my jogging bottoms  |

By:
hardly ever see piers linney wear a tie or a jacket, does he not look smart? i think he looks smarter than he would with a tie. it looks more dynamic and modern to me.

By:
lol ya taking the casual look a bit too far for me! i dont own any plain t shirts or jogging bottoms.
