Do you wear a tie at work?

[48thStreetCustom]

When I was growing up butchers, teachers and cops wore ties. Now my financial advisor doesn't even wear one.

 

[Rob22315]

We still wear suits and ties where I work.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

I had one job where I wore a tie 4 days/week.
I've still got the ties, but haven't worn one in almost 7 years.

I was really elated to slip back into blue jeans for work on my next job, but the double increase in pay was the real reason I was smiling so much.

My employers are lucky I dress at all.

You all are, really.

 

[StyleOverShow]

Read somewhere recently that ties are down 80% in the workplace.

I think it's going to be a generational thing, like hats in the 60's when Prez Kennedy stopped wearing them.

 

[Jazz Ad]

I used to but it kinda vanished. Nowadays I only do it for specific meetings.

We have two uniforms, long sleeve and short sleeve. When we wear long sleeves we have ties on. That's from October 15 to April 15.

So I didn't vote, there's no "sometimes" option.

I work at home. I focus on regular bathing. Working at home by yourself can really warp your sense of time. The calendar zooms by.

Some people who work at home still dress as if they are in a professional setting. Not for me.

I work in a fabrication lab and on a farm, which are both dangerous places to have a tie around your neck. When I am officiating a wedding, I wear a tie, for sure.

 

[GIBrat51]

No - and if I was required to wear one, I wouldn't be at work there. A uniform, badge, and a gun, is more then enough discomfort, thank you....

 

[hondo4life]

One of my goals in life is to not have to wear a tie, ever.

 

[bluesblaster]

oh hell no, whoever came up with idea of cinching up a ribbon of clothe around your neck was a moron. The things people will do for vanity

Actually part of it makes sense. It is in part to cover the buttons and line underneath.

I choose to wear shirts with no buttons.

 

[pcake]

i work on my computer in my living room, so no tie or female equivalent for me

 

[Humbled]

No I don't. I have some ties and one really good suit, and can dress without complaint when appropriate.

Tuxedos, OTOH, well I have several of them, from another era in my music life.

They still fit.

 

[2saddleslab]

Only when the situation calls for it, which is not too often.

I'm retired now, but I managed a local division for a for a national retail company. I was responsible for all of our business in Washington DC and the state of Maryland.

When I started with the company in 1979, store managers were required to wear a tie daily, even in Florida where I lived at the time.

When I retired in 2009 even upper management only wore ties on occasion. Now I wear a suit and tie at weddings and funerals. I still wear dress shirts pretty often.

My wife and I are going to dinner in a few minutes and then I have an acoustic gig afterward. I'm in a dress shirt and Dockers, it will work for dinner and the gig. I don't need a tie, even though it is a nice restaurant.

 

[Biggbass]

Six months ago I changed my routine of 23 years and started working from home.
So no more ties and starched shirts. It's T shirt & jeans now and a lot less stress and tension.

 

[Pilgrim]

I used to fairly often, but my seniority and the overall ethos of the university where I work mean that very few people wear ties here. It's mostly folks with top-tier jobs and those working with media.

 

[TOOL460002]

Never have at an office, but some other co-workers did. Button up shirts and pants that aren't jeans was my uniform for years.
