A suit with no tie usually conjures up images of the dreaded horror that is 'Business Casual'.
However, it can be done right. And that is what this week's challenge is about:
wear a suit without a tie and make it look freakin' good!

The rules are simple:
- you shall wear a suit (no SC with odd trousers, as that is too easy)
- NO ties allowed

The rest is up to you, anything goes. If you think you can make your flip flops look good with a suit, feel free to show it to us.
For some extra inspiration, take a look at how our friends over at SW&D are doing it.

The small print

Submissions must be posted by 1200hrs GMT Sunday 22nd February 2015. All submissions are to have been worn in the current week. The poll will go up directly on Sunday evening and close at midnight Monday 23rd February 2015. For the summary post, I will use only one pic' per entrant and will therefore choose your first offering.

Good luck!

Some examples

Hello from the SWD side. I don't have anything to wear a suit to, but I thought I'd post a couple old pictures.

This should be cool. I think a suit with no tie generally conjures up images of summer fits. It will be cool to see how people apply this in the winter.
