Gawd, but I hate ties...
-
...one of the (many) reasons I prefer to be self employed is that I can set the dress code: jeans and a shirt is fine. And most of my customers are the same: I can visit them in jeans, they can visit me. But today I am sitting here in a suit, tie, and dress shoes instead of comfy ones (I have to go to a funeral in half an hour or so) and I'd forgotten just how stupid ties are. What do they usefully do, other than try to strangle you? Any dress codes where you are working?

We are pretty much smart casual for our engineering department. It does range depending on the employee but most stick to a nice medium of jeans, shirt, shoes, or jeans, t-shirt, trainers are the bare minimum.

Sharp suit. Quite right too - casual dress, casual attitude.

Well the dead person is dead and no longer cares. It is the ones that stay alive that usually care enough to bury them and have a ceremony. I always thought of funerals as a celebration of ones life and of course mourning the loss. And as a part of that ceremony people are expected to dress in a formal manner.
Well said! Exactly my opinion also.

We stopped insisting on ties at my last (American) company quite a few years before I left. The first time I went to the US office in 1991 the local staff thought it quite amusing that I turned up in a suit and tie; I soon switched to normal US dress code.

Oh, so you're one of those annoying irks who have to win all the time, are y... Oh. Not that kind of tie. Forget I spoke.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

After seeing your both links with V. I feel less innocent. From now on you both are on my list for not clicking on any links in your posts:)

Au contraire. The less time you spend worrying about how you look (which shouldn't matter unless you're meeting clients) the more time you have for actually working.

No he's Welsh, he likes that sort of tie. It's a step up from losing! ;P

Ties are like peacocks' tails - their purpose is that they demonstrably have no purpose so if you have one it means you have sufficient wealth to purchase silk but don't need it to keep warm. These days silk (and fake silk) is not expensive and therefore ties have been replaced as a sign of means-beyond-needs by BMW badges and various electronic devices.

Current position is remote, so I'll just let your imaginations run for my work from home days. On office days (once every few months), jeans and a t-shirt are fine. My previous job didn't have an explicit dress code, but the implicit one was business casual with a casual Friday. I started expanding casual Friday until it covered the whole week. My summer project was going to be introducing shorts, but I left before I could add that to my resume. The job before that my wife described as barnyard casual. I don't wear ties for interviews anymore. If a company needs me to wear a tie, it's almost certainly not going to be the right fit for me.

If it's tight, I hate to tell you, then YOU are at fault. 0. Get shirts that really fit. Put a tape measure around your neck and stick two fingers between it and you, that will give you a comfortable collar size. 1. Use a large knot, double over or Windsor. The single turn is stupid, and looks worse and worse as the day progresses. 2. When you tie the tie, close it to the collar and not your neck. Simples [sat here in shorts and polo shirt]
