The necktie manufacturers trade group may have just gone belly up, saying guys aren’t wearing ties anymore. But you couldn’t tell that by the crowd enjoying Father’s Day Brunch yesterday at Al Biernat’s restaurant. Among the many men at Al’s with colorful pieces of cloth around their necks were Dallas radio legend Ron Chapman (subdued stripes) and C&W star Rudy Gatlin (pink silk) of the Gatlin Brothers. Of course, anybody who had an affair with country queen Tammy Wynette–like Rudy did–can wear anything he wants.
I was at the airport renting a car last week.
None of the businessmen in line wore a tie.
But all the rent car agents did.
It’s reversed — the higher you go, the less you wear a tie –
Buck, sorry but when I fly, I want my pilot to be wearing a tie. When I’m in court, I want my male attorney to wear a tie. Perhaps your businessmen in line will put on their ties once they get to their meeting. As for the rent car agents, they were already at work.
So competence and ability are created by knotting a piece of silk around your neck?
Men in ties = hot.
Power suit and tie= HOT.
Agrees with Bethany.
Sure, Dooner, attorneys and financial-industry types still must wear a tie to inspire confidence. But do you require that the man who develops your software wear a tie? The guy who creates a marketing strategy to move more widgets in a hard-to-reach demographic? The editorial types who alert you to the 473 best plastic surgeons in Dallas?
