Re: Tie knots - does it really matter?
I say avoid this stress and invest in bow-ties.

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

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.)
