Let's discuss Blair's hair

Oh, and something else.

Ties with short sleeved shirts is a massive no no! Short sleeved shirts are casual wear, not business attire. Its a tacky American practice, and we do not take style tips from the Americans. Someone really nerdy like a software engineer might just get awsy with it, but for normal people its a major style faux pas.

See, I'm a nerdy laboratory scientist so I get away with wearing a tie with chinos, trainers and a cardigan, but short sleeved shirts are for holidays and only holidays.

He should have a top knot or man bun, when my hair was a bit shorter than that a month ago I threatened to do a similar thing. 😄

I work for a tech company, if you showed up wearing a tie nobody in the company would trust you. The sales guys might talk to you, but only if they thought they could get some commission out of your business. The world has moved on, very few companies still expect a tie, which in my eyes is great, they are hateful things.

Yes, and it depends on your line of work (I worked in holiday tourism for 4 years and that was the same there, ties were really frowned on). I agree that ties aren't as popular as they once were, but the polite thing to do (always) is tailor your dress to the type of meeting, and perhaps who you're meeting... if it's your industry regulator and a formal meet, put a suit and tie on. If it's people from a tech, tourism, entertainment company and it's less formal, then yes something between smart and casual is best.
My point wasn't that this lady wasn't wearing a tie or equivalent, it was that gym pants and trainers are not remotely appropriate for that setting or audience.

Ah, now thats the uniform of your profession, perfectly acceptable. Your ill fitting and shabby tweet jacket and meerschaum pipe are equally part of the accepted attire.

Top knots? Man buns?

I think you lot are deliberately trying to get me angry!

I do have such a jacket, and to complete the look the jumper I'm wearing right now is covered in dried snot because my 2yo has a cold.

Sounds like some of the forum membership are jealous that (another) 67 year old bloke actually still has a full head of hair

It looks like a bit of a comb over to me.🤔

I don't think I could afford to.

A jacket and smart shorts are ok,but maybe not a suite type jacket like they're wearing. I'd go for a stripey blazer!🧐

 

[Hacienda71]

Personally I wear a top hat and a morning coat to go to the office on the penny farthing . I change of course into white tie for dinner.

In many hot countries this is the norm. That might be in Australia, when you order a suit there it's usually supplied with matching shorts although these gentlemen have gone for the separates look. 😄

Tie's are the most pointless bit of clothing invented, I got a lot of hassle from my boss for not wearing one, in an engineering office, I never took up his suggestions to wear one, which drove him mad, he was a control freak.

 

[Cycleops]

I used to like wearing ties, it gave a dash of colour and individuality to what might be a rather drab outfit colourwise.

I think he's going to start a nightclub.

I reckon this guy has a few quid to spend. What should I wear to a sales pitch with him?

Should I ensure he has superior jewellry?
