Come the Revolution, can we ban neckties?

[Veovis]

Seriously, neckties are probably the worst fashion invention ever next to corsets. They look ridiculous and only serve to get dipped or caught in things. I hate having to wear the shitty, bourgeois things to job interviews because I can't stand to have things against my neck. The only way I can wear a shirt and tie without going nuts is to undo the top button and loosen the tie, which looks sloppy. I usually opt for polo shirts.

So can we ban them? Please? :lol:

[An archist]

Only if we replace them with bowties.

[Smyg]

Personally I'd ban all formal attire, but that'd be overly restrictive... :D

[wunderbar]

No because I got some fantastic geometric colorful 90's ties at a thrift store last week.

[Smyg]

How about this: Neckties are banned, with the exception of those with fabulous patterns and colouring? :D

[A Revolutionary Tool]

I actually like dressing up in formal attire, including with a tie. I got extreme swag power when I dress up all nice.

[Agent Ducky]

While we're at it, can we ban high heels for women too? Formal attire sucks.... and if you think ties are bad, high heels are the freaking worst... Being tall kinda exempts me from having to wear them though. It's like feet OPPRESSION...

[Dumb]

How about we ban discrimination against those who refuse to wear ties and/or high heels?

[ВАЛТЕР]

Execute those who resist! It is the will of the people! No more neckties or formal attire! Only sweat pants and t-shirts from now on!:laugh:

[Smyg]

Gulags for the formal, I say! :sleep:

[ColonelCossack]

Only if we replace them with bowties.

^ This.

[A Revolutionary Tool]

I can't be the only one who likes dressing up formally...

[Agent Ducky]

A quite rational alternative. I LIKE IT.
Also, people who discriminate against me for refusing to wear dresses. They can all play in traffic.

[Susurrus]

Soviet military surplus clothing for EVERYONE :lol:

[Veovis]

I plan on replacing my entire wardrobe with Mao shirts. ;)

[Dzerzhinsky's Ghost]

I'm with Ahmadinejad, ties are a symbol of Western capitalist decadence; I totally support the ban thereof.

I never got why high heels caught on. I always thought they looked weird and made women walk funny.

[thesadmafioso]

I don't know about the rest of the male comrades here, but I look superb in a three piece suit.

So yeah, I'd prefer not to be sent to the Gulag for being a fashion reformist or anything.

You don't need a tie to dress formal and look sharp. I prefer to dress formal and I never wear ties.

[thesadmafioso]

You don't need a tie to dress formal and look sharp. I prefer to dress formal and I never wear ties.

I agree, but I still like having the option of the tie open to me if I should choose to utilize it. They can really make a suit sometimes, and you can't really have a three piece suit without some sort of neck ware.

That would just be borderline silly, almost.

What?! Bro, I love putting on a suit, nice satin purple shirt, and a striped purple tie to match. I go out with swag, get to mingling with the wall street rats on the subways, and then whip out that capital vol. 1. Point being, there is a peculiar smell of shit on the subway once that happens! ( I over exaggerate, but you get the point. )

A purple suit? Seriously?

I mean, I love a decent suit as much as the next guy of the revolutionary intelligentsia, but purple?

My hat is off to you if you can actually pull that off.

Purple shirt my friend, I haven't been able to find a decent looking purple suit. But I did rock the baby blue suit before with white under, and white formal shoes. :cool:

Well, that's what I was referring to, more or less. A suit isn't a blazer or a comparable jacket piece, it's the end result of the compilation multiple pieces of dress attire. And in this case, I imagined the purple shirt as playing a substantial enough role in the suit to justify identifying the entire ensemble by said color.

Well in that case I apologize for the misunderstanding, and thank you :D I personally love suits, and even when I don't wear a full suit attire I'm pretty much always decked out in jeans and a nice button-down shirt.

The tie is superfluous and doesn't effect the swag variable in any way shape or form.

In fact, come to think of it a neat off the top of my head slogan could be "let's string wallstreet up by their ties!"

What?! How is the tie superfluous? It adds dynamic to the look if you pull the tie off right ( as in not just a solid color. ) And it's always an extra flirt toy so yeah. Win-Win. :D

Forget what I said earlier. I'd totally wear that one just for the nasty looks I'd get.

[eyedrop]

What kind of jobs do you apply to since you have to wear a tie to them?

Or you could move to a country with a less formal dress code, our business men are always critized for not wearing formal enough wear in international business meetings.

[ВАЛТЕР]

I look damn good in a suit and tie, however I hate wearing a tie, it is uncomfortable and I feel like a dog with a collar on. My dog doesn't even wear a collar, so why should I?

[Misanthrope]

OP doesn't have swag

[EvilRedGuy]

"Why do we have to wear these ridiculous ties?"

[Dzerzhinsky's Ghost]

It's superfluous in that it's exceeding in what's necessary. Further without the silk noose you are free to unbutton your shirt and expose that man mane and gold chains. Also, without the tie all she has to work with is the collar which is drastically closer to the body. Notice these great tie-less men of swagdom.

^No tie.

http://www.enduringamerica.com/storage/blog-post-images/AHMADINEJAD%20L%20GESTURE.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEV ERSION=1316035552663

^No tie.

http://funver.com/images/stories/people/celebrities/charlie_sheen/charlie_sheen__9.jpg

^No fucking tie.

It's simple mathematics, see below formulas.

1. No-Tie = Winning.
2. Tie ≠ Winning.
3. Tie = Failure.
4. No-Tie ≠ Failure.

As I have stated before, ties are a symbol of Western capitalist decadence.

[Wanted Man]

The late Prince Claus considered neckties "the snake around my neck" and he called upon "workers of all nations" to get rid of them. Proof:

Necktie supporters must be aware that something is wrong when they are more reactionary than royalty.

Why would Lenin be wearing a tie in the leisure of where he was staying at? Every time he was out and about agitating he wore a tie, revisionist scum.

[Il Medico]

Fuck this noise. Formal wear, and thus neck ties, are the freakin shit. Especially those 60's-sque skinny ones.

Perhaps but as I remember it the majority of them did.

There is literally no better feeling than wearing a suit and tie so people think you're rich, going to a bourgie club, picking up some bourgie brat and watching them recoil when they see your shitty apartment. It's worth the blue balls.
