CASUAL TIE

[germinal]

b/c ties are ace and i'd like to hope that in 2014 there is room to wear a tie casually in a way that is neither pitti chump nor club twunt nor IT grunk

madness and the specials, general ska culture has some great looks.

rules of CASUAL TIE:

yr tie shall never be wider than 2.5 inches (except for when it is)
thou shalt tie it slightly skewiff (except for when you don't)
thou shalt never tuck in yr shirt (except for when you do)
yr top button shalt never be buttoned (except for when it is)
and so on and so forth

some of this is better than the other but NDG always did this pretty well.

I wish I could figure this out. I have so many ties I'd like to wear but never feel right about wearing them unless I'm wearing a suit or sport coat, a rare enough level of formality for me as it is. Would definitely get odd remarks at work or with most friends.

I have great admiration for Esther Quek and her devotion to tie pins.

What shirt supports the cahzul tye? Is there specifics or is it one you found in your wardrobe left over from school?

In a similar vane, who makes good cahzul tyes?

Let's push this motive

I bought a casual tie in 2002 from YOYO the vintage clothing shop in Birmingham that was where Atoo is now. It's bright red and about 2cm wide and apparently was Made In England by a company called "PLUS". I wore it constantly and still have it.

I got a second casual tie from my uncle. It's solid blue, about 4cm wide. I wore it with a white gap poplin shirt (still have it) and a brown corduroy blazer (gone) and blue straight legged jeans and trainers (gone and gone)

i think this is a really ace look but i fear it wouldn't really look as nice off the runway or a stage

how do we feel about cordura ties

I really like the way Mr. Porter styled this. White dress shirt, busy tie, flannel overshirt functioning as a super-high button stance cardigan. I really want to recreate this some time with my blackwatch flannel tie.
