Why do you need this tie???
Well if your tie has little clouds or cartoon characters on it or something, no amount of manliness is going to overcome that, so there is a bit of truth in the "power tie" thing. Look up pics of Dick Cheney. He always has on a power tie.
Tie? what is that? hell, my work clothes consist of board shorts, flip flops and a hat.
get a tie with a Christmas tree on it with real working lights, nothing screams I'm taking on corporate America any better
go to brooks brothers, i am sure they can help you pick out a rep tie of yr liking.
that just mean's you've got balls...unlike locoFathead said:Stick it to the man: Get a tie, but not a red one. Wear it on yer thang.
Don't wear nuttin else
Now THAT'S a power tie.
Power Tie = Bow tie with electric motor that spins tie on command.

RED is the only color for a "Power Tie" with a lightly starched white tab-collar shirt and dark blue, grey or black suit with black shoes with a leather sole.
worst look ever...white collar and cuffs on a colored shirt.

A goodly length of galvanized chain fastened at the neck with a chromed padlock would do the trick nicely.

In a given week, I meet with developers and city officials including Mayors and Council members. Red, maroon or anything dark reddish is the whip to crack attention and respect. I always wear red with lil dots or textured patterns each time I present projects before the commission or council.
Also...
I love going to the coffee shop and get treated differently.
1. Typical day in civilian clothes:
Coffee Girl -What's up dude! Wha-can-I get for ya?
2. Day in work clothes (especially when I have to wear tie)
Coffee Girl -Goooooood morning, sir. What can I get for you today?
I love my work.

I hate going to meetings and such where everybody is wearing "power suits" and such. If you've ever been in a meeting with a bunch of salespeople, you know what I'm talking about.
Orven: I love wearing a suit, having people say "sir" and crap like that, only to respond with, "yeah, whatever, f' it, dude, bro..." There's nothing like a guy in a suit that doesn't give a s___.

The tie is for an interview for a job that if I get I'll never have to wear a suit ever again.

Note: I am a student. I rarely wear suits. But doing that is definitly the mark of a baller.
Not I... I have 1 suit... and it goes like this. Very nice Blue Blazer, Quality half silk half cotton brown/tan slacks, cream colored silk mofokin shirt, and a Jerry Garcia tie (navy, cream and tan/brown)... aww jeah.narlus said:
But I will never have the white cuff, white collar, red tie combo. What if I were to fall? I could cut myself across the jugular with those damn collars.

No wonder you score all the supermodels. Are you sure you're not Ralph Lauren???golgiaparatus said:
I agree with Narlus on Brooks Brothers. They make clothes with the executive in mind. I also hate colored shirts with a white collar and cuffs. That is PURELY an accountant's look. I also find plain white dress shirts boring and they don't look good against white skin. I prefer colored shirts, both solids and patterns.
I also agree with Orven on the way you get treated differently when you wear a suit. I own four suit but usually wear dress pants, dress shirts, and ties to work. Maybe once a week I'll dress down into khakis.

Did you learn that guys name yet???I Are Baboon said:
No, and it was a woman. I'll try to sneak a glance at her ID badge next time I see her.loco said:Did you learn that guys name yet???
my thoughts on that is that it's not any different if you wear a suit; the only difference is that the pants match the jacket.I Are Baboon said:
i don't mind wearing suits and the like, but i never have to do it for work (unless the FDA is in and i am going to meet w/ them).

There are a lot of people I see at the Pentagon that still sport that look. Most of them also have the slicked-back-wet-look hair too.
