Good summary.
Look at CM's two pics. In the first the tie looks like it's floundering to stay above the water. In the second it's given up and sunk. This doesn't convey nonchalance to me, it conveys failure!
There's merit in CM's last post, but the rationale is misapplied in this case. The only people likely to notice and read it as nonchalance are menswear geeks, and likely not even them. The general population will likely wonder why he's wearing a tie when you can't even see it.
