Tie knots - does it really matter?

[Jack Daw]

I say avoid this stress and invest in bow-ties.

In keeping with that, turtlenecks are always an option....but with a kilt....?

Naaaah.

(...and PLEASE don't feel obliged to post your photos of you in a kilt AND a turtleneck...I've seen them...sorry, still doesn't work and I'd like to spare Jock Scott the pain of having to look at them.)

I'm wading cautiously into those waters, having bought my first non-formal bowtie a few weeks ago. But I'm still not convinced that bowties agree with me. I like the clean lines and vertical aspect of a long tie. Bowties tend to make for a very different visual effect, accentuating things horizontally instead of vertically. I'll just have to get used to it before being as comfortable seeing myself in a bowtie as I am in a regular necktie.

But still, I don't see bowties completely replacing neckties for me. That's just crazy talk!

I alternate between long and bow. The bow doesn't accidentally get dropped in soup or get guacamole dropped on it. And, if your a paper-shuffler like me at work, the bow avoids getting tangled in the desk work. (I also get nice comments from the ladies.)
