I’ve had to wear jeans and a polo shirt a few times but I haven’t worn a button up shirt since March 20.

Also think I’m now at a decade + since I last wore a tie.

Amazing how your personal style changes with time. I would never had considered a tie until I got to DC. Then wore one every work day for 15 some years. Now can't really imagine a situation I'd need one.

It helps being older and having a good reputation/position in the industry but I just think corporate dress standards have become far more informal over the past 20 years

I forgot I wore jeans and a polo for 1 hour a few months ago when I made a nice dinner and we did a stay at home date night.

Ties are horrible. When I started my job, I bought a few suits and a few ties for meetings with bankers and investors. I stopped wearing ties a few years ago and will just go sports jacket and no tie now when I absolutely have to “dress up”.

Ties are ridiculous fashion accessories. If we want to close our shirt collars, we have buttons. Might as well bring back lace neckruffs.

I wear one so rarely that I have to go to YouTube to figure out how to tie a it every time.

I'm glad that the worst I ever had to endure was "business casual".

Tell me, how does wearing a strip of fabric around my neck (or even business casual, for that matter) make me a better employee?

Yeah, that's what I thought. Jeans and tennis shoes for me. Although I never got out of the habit of wearing a dress shirt (or polo type shirt in summer).

I will know that Skippy has you locked in the basement and the above statement is a plea for assistance

Privileged itt. A comfy western civ lifestyle assumes there cannot be an imminent threat of poverty or danger.

The British only made him a prince to make up for the fact that he was a nazi. Got to keep up appearances.
