Ties

Very rarely did my husband go out without wearing a tie. He often wore a suit too. I remember when we were on line at the airport going to Mexico. One of the passengers told him to loosen up (sic). LOL Everybody else was in casual clothes, shorts, etc. He loosened up alright when the Mexican heat hit us. He always said shirts and ties was what he was more comfortable in.
 

When I attended a girl's boarding school in Toronto,Canada in the 60's,part of the uniform was wearing a tie
My dad put me in front of a mirror to show me how to do it.He was right handed,I'm a lefty
I can still do it today
 
Not everyone has school uniform on in this class photo from the early 60's..although it was mandatory, but I have full uniform on....

..can you spot me...?

Yea...I was looking for the smile/grin.
Hard to believe we can remember that long ago. At about that same age I can remember three of us going to the playground and getting on a piece of playground equipment. Two of got on, while the third was running and pulling the merry go around faster and faster. It was going so fast the two of us fell off and one of us knocked the third person down. Memories...
 
My son was very fussy about ties. He said they were the most important way of dressing up a man. Today, now that he has his own business, he only wears one if there is a big meeting with important clients.
 
In Paris we find so many fine ties, in great condition and stylish, from the Marché au Puces and street sales

I have an original Air France pilot/crew tie, Armani, Pierrot Cardin etc.

Required for Formal meetings, eg beurocrats, government....

My husband always wore a suit and tie for work, although he wasn't thrilled about it, until they finally went "business casual." I always bought his ties for him. He'd say, "You've got an eye for a tie." Yes, I do. 👔 🧐
 
I don't own a tie and don't ever plan on buying one.

Being 'dressed up' to me is ironed jeans or maybe slacks, sport coat, a nice shirt and my black Lucchese boots.........if that ain't dressed up enough to where I'm headed I've got no business going.

Do you tuck the trousers into the boots, or over them ? JImB.
 
My dad taught me how to do a Windsor knot when the Annie Hall film became so popular in the U.S. because I used to dress like her. I think he was secretly pleased.
