If I may summarise the DWW theory: any garment that is associated with conservative / traditional social attitudes ('stuffy assholes') tends to gradually disappear from daily use, with the exception of some ceremonial use.
If that is correct, I think that outside of the groom-or-grieving-spouse category, the tie is toast, probably 'classic' lace-ups and 'full suits. At some point, though, they could return as 'costume'; like trilbies which, in my youth, were ultra-crusty, virtually disappeared and now are hipsterish.
Andy: looking forward to the pink suit (you'll have to start referring to people as "old sport" though...).
