Neckties, yay or nay?

Growing up in England we had school uniforms and, as such, am used to neck ties from a young age.

This is me in my last year of high school.

My school uniform.

That's probably the coolest adorning of a tie I have seen in a long time. :thumbsup:

It's your hair that does it. The contrast is awesome. I think ties on men with regular short hair cuts make them look way too conservative, especially since most ties are very conservative by the nature of the colour or the pattern. The only way I like a tie is if its worn in a bold or unpredictable way. A really unusual colour combination contrasting with the suit can work, or just a really bold print or stripe can be fun. Otherwise I immediately think 'sales rep'.

And I need the red and orange swirly one in the middle left in blue tones because I have a top in that exact print. OMG!!! I need them all!!!!!

Yes Len, they're rather expensive. But they're incredibly original and each one is a work of art so worth it in my opinion. I collect the women's scarves and they never go out of style. :)

What are you talking about? You just asked me to define 'great'.

And based on your definition it says "considerable, pronounced, sizeable, substantial, expansive, ample, immense, huge, enormous, colossal, massive, gigantic, mammoth, monstrous, humongous, whopping, ginormous"....... :shrugs:

I don't think clothes can define a persons gender, these forms and modes of dress that we equate to whatever thing like masculinity or effeminacy or authority or vagrancy, they're a result of conditioning and not a lot besides, i don't think you need to necessarily be obvious or garish in your accentuation of femininity or masculinity, it's there already and it's a lot more powerful than anything a jacket or pants can have that great an effect upon.
That kinda clothing accentuates her femininity to me even as it is, only it does it by way of contrast instead of the aforementioned accentuation by way of the archetypal form of dress would.
