Ties - are you wearing them less?

[TGPlastic]

I'm good for five or six tie days a week. ANd I don't take it off or loosen it until I get home.

less.. Don't know why as I love wearing ties.. Just a phase..

 

[eg1]

Virtually every day at work.

I pretty much wear one everyday. Unless I wear a polo shirt. Even then I still need something going on around my neck so I wear a scarf.

love wearing ties, though i often get compliments on an odd occassion in which i chose not to wear one. The last time that was, i was getting hot and cold flashes and elected not to wear one.

Ties yes.
steady. no more, no less over here.

No Bow-ties though for me.
I am still traumatized by that idiot obnoxious worm Tucker Carlson
giving the Bow-tie a bad rap.

Has anyone decided to wear them less - or are you wearing them more for that matter?
Do you wear them now only for specific occasions, are you wearing them less for work in favour of maybe a jacket and just a pocket square? Or are you actually buying more?
Personally in summer which is very hot in Melbourne, I'm wearing them a lot less, but I always wear a lightweight jacket. In winter I'm tending to wear them a bit less in favour of a jacket, shirt cashmere sweater or sweater vest and scarf.

I like wearing ties, but don't have occasions to wear them for. My work environment is very casual and my social circle is the blazer-but-no-tie type.

Why so? To stand out as a serious professional?

I think the "blazer-with-shirt-with-top-button-unbuttoned" is a good look - put together but with something left undone...

definitely lotta people like it.

I work around "business casual" and wear ties weekly, more so my social circle is open dress ***** and no jackets. A friends first impression when they see my tie is - did you come from work? And at some point in a coworker has asked - why do you wear a tie? And I answer truthfully, i like them. Plus they keep my neck warm in the winter.

+1. Once I put on a tie, I don't loosen it or take it off until I get home. I might roll up my shirt sleeves, but I don't alter the tie.

It's getting colder here my friend. As such I've taken to wearing a tie and jacket more often at work. I can usually only stand it twice a week at most during the heights of summer, but now it's temperate enough to don the neckwear more regularly.

That's not to say we should wear them all the time if we're not so inclined. A colleague of mine wears a tie everyday. The coffee stains on his washable ties go well with the packet-fold creases in his oversized shirt to convey a certain "slob chic". Sadly he's a typcial **** australis...

It hasn't changed. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

+2 wear it or don't but don't leave it hanging half-pulled off at the end of the day
