The girlfriend's first reaction: "Uhh? Oh! Wow! That's cute! I bet he's gay, though. Gay guys are so awesome. They can pull off anything." I think I may have to reconsider our relationship at this point.

There's a scene in the movie Hot Rod where Andy Samberg's character gives up on his childish dreams of being a stuntman and decides to become a responsible adult. Part of his transformation involves him wearing a polo/rugby shirt with a tie. It looks ridiculous, but it was hilarious in the context of the movie.

I say no, I wish I knew who strated this aful trend. If I ever meet this person god help them. Ties are meant to be worn with dress shirts and dress shirts only. Also to be properly worn under the shirt collar, not with polos, or t-shirts or any other type of shirt. I have seen this a lot latley and will make it a point to ridicule people who do this and publicly humiliate them.

It would only look good if your tie is firmly attached to a hefty tree limb far off the ground and you are about to have a chair kicked out from under you....speaking in a sartorial sense of course.

maybe... if you're wearing a sweater over it and it looks like a dress shirt...in which case you might as well wear a dress shirt.

ok, no.

Winston Chesterfield should fear your wrath- he had a blog entry on Men's Flair
where he suggested it: A Little Imagination.

Um why would you want to do that? Wearing ties with polo shirts is plain dumb.

What is a polo? Some kind of new shirt?
