Ruche Ties
I know that the mantra of "you do you" regarding kilt wearing is alive and well with many groups, pages and forums but wanted to see what the consensus is regarding Ruche ties for semi formal and formal settings. Is it a yea or nay for you?

The word anathema comes to mind. Maybe that's just me.

Pass for me, but I've seen others in my area wear them. While I'm not against them, it's just not my style.

No thank you
I am not a fan of the look. A bow tie is a much smarter look with the strength of tradition behind it. With certain doublets, a jabot and cuffs can be a nice look as well. The ruche tie was a relatively recent fad that failed, in my humble opinion.

Definite no for me; like a fly plaid, not something I will ever wear.

The story goes that a clerk in a formal wear rental shop had a lot of ascots left over from back when and no one was renting them anymore.
So he tied an ascot into a 4-in-hand knot and called it a Ruche tie.
Ruche - defined by the Oxford Dictionary is - a strip of pleated or frilled lawn, lace, etc, used to decorate blouses, dresses, etc, or worn around the neck like a small ruff as in the 16th century
