Man, I can't stand it when I'm wearing a collared shirt and my neck is getting cinched by the collar. It's a fuckin' muffin top for your neck. Awful.
I do, but I'm a fat fuck, and have gone through periods of rapid gain and loss. Plus...I'm cheap. Mine generally don't have that issue if I have the size/weight match correct. The concept and effect though still stand.
Seconded. I’ve never used the top button in my life. I usually associate it with church-goers or jail-goers. So uncomfortable, too. The tie does the rest.
The bulging neck muffin top is an issue worth investing in. If you're wearing a tie, the top button should be fastened, IMO - it looks silly otherwise. Buy shirts with the right collar size and the button should be no tighter than the tie. Are you guys buying your dress shirts in S/M/L or what? I hate ties, though. I'm glad a sport coat and no tie seems to be acceptable now in most business situations.
Agreed. I hadn't thought about a tie. A lot of the younger generation wear shirts without a tie but still buttoned all the way up. Can't remember the last time I wore a tie.
Do y’all not go to weddings or funerals? You would be judged out of the room not wearing a tie at those here.
Yes. It tastes way way better than it looks. lol. They formed it onto the plate and i put it in the fridge last night.
I wore shorts and a t-shirt to my own wedding. I’m sure as fuck not going to wear one to someone else’s.
I had to wear a tie to school one day a week, every week, from 6-12th grade. I swore I would never wear a tie again. Unfortunately, in undergrad, the professor who taught all of my public speaking classes (which was my major) required men to wear a tie during all of their speeches. My way of protesting was to find the most absurd ties I could find. Technically within the rules and I couldn't lose points for it. Pretty sure I still have the one depicting karma sutra positions. For our wedding, I refused to wear a tie and pissed off a lot of people in the process (not my wife though). Fuck them. I officiated my brother in law's wedding and they insisted I wear a tie. We settled on a bow tie. Clip on. With polka dots. Fuck ties.
Haven't worn a tie since I was a kid working in a hardware store (mixing paint ffs with a tie). Even if I did wear a tie, no one would be able to see it under my beard. I'm of the firm opinion that a turd is still a turd no matter how much cloth you drape around it.
I don't mind wearing a tie. I think suits and ties look sharp. Doesn't seem to bother James Bond, Tony Stark, Thomas Crown, Barney Stinson, Sterling Archer . . .
I'm neutral on ties. Great ties look great, bad ties look bad. They can really "tie" together a look (hurr hurr).
I don't mind dressing up and wearing a tie but I had a job about 15 years ago where I had to wear a tie and it gets real old, real fast IMO
