Anyone Still Wear a Tie ?
Just thinking back to times when wearing tie was compulsory during Autumn/Winter & Spring.
And realised never seen anyone wear a tie for years, There must be a few out there.

And when the mood takes me to wear a proper shirt rather than the red polo i always wear a tie.
Shirt/tie is a necessary combo.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Proper tie or clip on?

Not the 'new' style unisex ones that don't lend to wearing tie with.

Re: Anyone Still Wear a Tie ?
I would consider wearing a tie if you could wear a proper one.
Those clip on ones are ridiculous and it means you have to do the top button up.
The old button down collars were good but the new style shirt is more of a blouse than a shirt.
The red polo shirt looks sleek and modern..........well it would be if the wearer wasn't a sweaty, dehydrated and bad-tempered person turning up just before teatime.

Re: Anyone Still Wear a Tie ?
A senior colleague of mine still wears a tie and is clinging onto his old shirts as well. I wish I still had my old shirts - I really do hate these unisex blouses, I liked the buttoned-down collar.
The machine stops.
