Are ties a choice now? Are they still considered essential for certain situations?
What is the best way to "get around" not wearing one with a suit, yet still maintain some class? Or is that just not possible.
I never wear a tie to work (I work in a hospital and consider ties a vecotr of disease transmission from patient to patient. there are studies to back up that thought). Last night I attendended my wife's corporate holiday party and could not get a shirt/tie combo to work for me (all my ties are old and to me not styling, and my shirts were just a smidge too tight in my neck..next half size up the chest, waist are too big and falls off my shoulder, and I am not an athletic or slim fit by any means!)
So I went tie-less, button down collar, white T underneath...
Plenty of other guys in variied form of dress, lots of ties, many no ties, but sport coat/pants not suit, some like me in a suit, one guy had a turtleneck under his jacket.
I would actually prefer never to wear a tie...I just dont carry the look well, do I have options, or do I need to go to a nice shop and get fitted appropriately?? I probably do need some nice new classic proper fit shirts to go with my suits.
