Wearing the same tie two days in a row

[BvBPL]

So amidst my spring craziness, I forgot to do an inventory of my ties before starting my new job. One's missing and one has a stain the dry cleaner couldn't get out, so I'm left with one. I can't really run down to Macy's for more because most stores don't have long ties. I'll hit up a store tomorrow for a few, but for now I'm left with one.

Wearing a tie two days in a row is obviously different from wearing the same shirt, shorts, socks, whatever. A tie doesn't touch skin or anything so there's no sanitary reason not to wear one over multiple days.

However, I sure feel like I'm wearing the same shorts two days in a row and everyone else knows. For seriously no reason. All my suits look pretty decent w/ the tie too so there's not even that.

I might have thought twice about having my pants fitted for suspenders and gotten French cuffs had I know I would be trailing through prison security on a regular basis.

In my opinion, ties shouldn't be worn. They are very silly and look like a turkey's wattle, dangling from the neck like that. They serve no functional purpose and can snag in machinery like paper shredders and circular saws.

I don't see a problem with wearing the same tie 2 days in a row. But I will wear the same shorts 2 days in a row so you probably shouldn't listen to me.

Didn't the tie emerge from mercenary uniform or something like that?

Offence is often the best defence. I'd have a few well rehearsed tirades in my arsenal, and basically spend the whole of day two at DEFCON 5.

At the slightest hint of any negative comments, unload furiously. I just don't see you being criticised, at least for the tie, much past 11am.

I've worn the same things for up to several days many times, and I think as long as there's no indication that the clothes are getting dirty or smelly or anything there's much harm. I don't think a lot of people would care especially if it's just two days in a row. Especially a tie. Now i mean if you accidentally urinated on your tie or fell into a puddle of mud or something and continued wearing it then maybe you'd have a problem.


Actually, for the longest time, growing up, and even a little after I graduated high school, I had only one tie, that was originally my father's. I was too chicken to ask to borrow his other ones, and I never thought about buying one, so I had that multi-colored, dark green/red/yellow one for quite a time.

Unless you spill something on it or it's really hideous, why would anyone even notice? The last time I ever noticed and commented on a guy's tie was when I met an author at a Calgary science fiction convention. He was wearing a very nice dark blue tie with a beautiful cat on it. He signed my copy of his Starlost novelization.

It doesn't help that the tie is the most visible or memorable element to the suit. I have worn the same suit to multiple interviews with the same company (because I only have one), but I try to switch the tie so it looks different.

But they cover your sinful shirt buttons!

How could you not be able to find another tie? Unless you are 6'6" or have an inordinately long body you can still use a regular tie.

If someone came in with the same tie I'd presume they have a romantic interlude and didn't have the opportunity to go home yet.

As long as the tie matches the suit/shirts, what's the big deal? I only have on tie, which i wear all week on those occasions when ties are required at work.

Try wearing the tie with a different knot. Might just add enough variety to remove the feeling you're having about it.

Glad you are back

Just get a seamstress to sew you into your clothing every morning, it's not that hard.



But seriously, ties are dumb, don't wear one every day.

Now i mean if you accidentally urinated on your tie [...]

how...would...you...err...???

You gotta understand, BvBPL is a hoss.

Interesting idea... I'm trying to imagine what a one-piece super-sewn suit looks like. Probably scifi-ish.

I would avoid this unless I was changing my suit or the style of shirt with the tie. So if I had a striped blue tie and I wore it with a white shirt, I would only wear it again if it was the best option if I wore a blue shirt the next day.

Rotating ties, and if you have a small selection, rotating the pattern of your rotation, is the right thing to do.

 

[CavLancer]

As I don't own a tie let alone 2 I consider any opinion I might have on wearing one two days in a row without changing to be completely worthless.

That said, go ahead and slap a coat of paint on it, nobody will notice its the same.

You will amass a collection of ties over time. Buy a few you like every once in a while. Don't binge all at once.

Start with a small stock, maybe 4 or 5, of various red, yellow, and blue ties.

Everyone noticed that you wore the same tie two days in a row and everyone was judging you.

Oh look at that. There had been sorta somewhat of an implicit rumor that you got killed by a typhoon.

I can't imagine thinking worse of someone for wearing a tie two days in a row. Some people are just really shallow I suppose.

What do you think about short sleeves with a tie? My boss does this and it looks really 50s to me. Most of us don't wear ties.
