I think he was right. Nobody likes ties. But then again, some people are programmed to believe that it makes them look smart and handsome, gentleman types. But in reality, they look like complete nerds, with a dog collar hanging from their necks, or that perhaps they're being choked to death.
Actually ties did once serve a purpose. They prevented your shirt from hooking onto what you bumped into. Buttons are a very recent innovation. Before buttons we had hooks and loops. The purpose of the tie was to cover the shirt's hooks so you didn't hook onto something else that came across your chest or stomach. This is why originally the tie was longer than it is worn today and tucked into your pants since this anchored it on both ends of your column of hooks and loops. With the invention of buttons, you might think then the tie should have then died off. But by then, the tie had already gained a second purpose. That second purpose was to provide color to the male business attire. This second purpose is why the tie is still with us today ... though usually shorter in length since few men still tuck it into their pants. For you see the average business suit is very dull color-wise. Commonly black, gray, navy blue (with or without pinstripes), and dark blue. Even semi-socially-acceptable summer suit colors are also very dull with brown, paige, and even white. The tie spruces up the business suit. Gives it color. Lets the businessman express their individuality. Speaks of how lively (or not) they are. And while we're on the topic, until relatively recently, the tie was almost always helped with a handkerchief in one's jacket breast pocket. The handkerchief being of the same color as the tie. However, facial tissue paper has made the handkerchief a socially disgusting accessory today. So now the handkerchief in one's jacket breast pocket is also only for decoration and commonly a very small handkerchief and even made to only peek out of the breast pocket just a little bit. Some men still wear handkerchiefs in their jacket breast pockets (Fox News' Special Report's anchor Bret Baier [c510383.r83.cf2.rackcdn.com/photos/PhotoDB_Repository/2009/2/custom/Bret%20Baier%202009.jp-258x318.jpg] always wears one [note how the color of his tie and handkerchief is the same]), but the practice is falling out of fashion leaving the tie as the only color most businessmen now sport.
There is no way this is true. Ties have been actually shorter in the past. And has only become longer in recent history, 20th century. Also the shirt with buttons all the way down is a 20th century or late 19th century thing too. Buttons would usually be only at the top third of the shirt. And thus a shirt would be pulled over the head.
Ties are here to stay because it's one of the few ways that professional men can express themselves. Women get to wear anything they damn well please (within the fairly loose social restrictions), while all men are stuck in the same boring uniform. Sure, a suit looks sharp, but the tie is where the personality comes through.
Does it occur to you that instead of keeping ties, men should fight to have the choice of more expression? Don't blame women; the only reason they get the latitude that they do in expression is because a bunch of perverted old men want to see painted dolls instead of actual human beings.
@@TheHybridGrizzly I guess. Some people make a suit look good, too. I've put on a few nice fitting suits. But I wouldn't want to be in them for longer than an hour.
I know that this video is nearly a decade old, but I just wanted to drop in to say that it gives off Better Call Saul vibes, and only because of the damn tie
What I'm curious about is how did we turn the 1800s, fat ties and thick coats into the 1920s or 30s business shirt and tie? I've heard a rumor it was IBM and their business attire along with business machines that kind of set a standard.
A significant portion of " fashion" is merely decoration, a finishing touch to pull everything together and, often, to "make a statement," in the case of a tie, whether it be one of "seriousness," "respectability," "business," "officiousness," "formality," etc.
Tie is a sign of big responsibilites.Once you got that responsibility youve got a tie lied down and if things go very wrong youve got tie to hang somewhwre.
U are almost right. Originally tie is scarf that wife would tie around her man's neck, before the battle. It was often used to tie jaw of dead soldier, so he is not disfigured by rigor mortis.
I have always thought the long tie is like a hazard waiting to happen... the bow tie makes more sense to me as “fashion” as stupid as both look as far as “business” is concerned... just imagine touring the Mitsubishi motor plant as some high value investor guy and you accidentally get your tie sucked into some automated roller or something.... or even if someone just wanna beat your ass... perfect handle...
I always felt like the success of the tie is based somewhat on the fact that it makes a man look somewhat harmless. Kind of like if you walk around with a noose around your neck in a group of people. You'd not look very intimidating and would look like you'd be easily subdued. The tie could be used very easily to strangle the wearer. It's very odd really.
I loved ties .. I had over hundred .. all colors and materials .. loved them all .. from the sting tie in the early 60s to the super wide in the 70s to the nice ties in the 80s to the 90s!!!!
Great video Ben. I've always loved the necktie aesthetic, but I'm about as likely to put on a silk noose as I am to try on a loaded bear trap for a hat.
It's one of the vital pieces of #business attire across the world, but where did ties come from? BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks has the history of the necktie in this episode.
You say they're "not warm like a scarf", try some wool ties. That's half the reason I wear them, because they keep my neck warm. I live in AZ, it's rarely cold enough for a scarf, and scarves are just... meh. Also, ties are typically worn with a button-down shirt, it hides the buttons, giving a more tailored appearance. Also, when you sit, sometimes your shirt may get a bit tight, and pillow out between the buttons. Ties hide this. What I can't stand, is when people wear a tie, with no clip. Or tie pin. Just let it flop in the breeze, dangle in your work, and generally be something to fuss with.
Exactly. Showing buttons in public is scandalously tempting to women who won't be able to control their urge to slowly unleash the pent up masculinity beneath!
Yes I think suits and neckties should still be worn in the offices of today and even at zoom meetings by businessmen and elected officials and newscasters alike. Not only is the suit and necktie (to add decoration and color) to the suit wearer
I belive their purpose is to hide the buttons on your shirt and as in the begining to hold the neck part of the shirt together without having to button it completely.
According to British scientist Sir. Noel Malcolm and historical evidences, the Apollinaion tie has been used by elders and commanders of the Sassanid Corps, and a widespread view of this is seen at the Taq Bostan in Kermanshah, Persia ( Iran ).
During the great depression, wall stree investors wore particularly long and strong ties so that they could easily hang themselves if they lost all of their money Just kidding
The primary reason for wearing a tie is as part of a uniform. The types of clothes worn by men who are engaged in serious business and government affairs are as much a uniform as any attire worn by the military or police. The tie has been a necessary component of that "business" uniform for a long time and change is not likely to happen anytime soon.
That's an interesting opinion given the fact that the dress codes of Google, Apple, or any major social media company indicate the opposite. Particularly if "revenue" factors into ones definition of "serious business".
Mike P The businesses you cite are hardly traditional and indeed have relied for their success on creating new products, new markets and new customers. As the innovators in the segment they have the ability to be innovative in many aspects of the business which includes creating their own "uniform" code. Uniforms are valued as a shorthand way to identify people, their professions and their status. The jacket & tie paradigm is no less a uniform than that worn by the military or police. An entry level executive and CEO both wear the suit & tie but are easily distinguished because one wears clothes off the rack and the other wears bespoke attire. A uniform is simply an outward display of identity and though the particulars may vary it remains a uniform because it conforms to a dress code.
That's a long way of saying 'just because'. Using that logic it could be a tie or really literally anything and ur saying well it's part of the uniform. But why is it part of the uniform why is it a symbol of business or authority or whatever youre claimiing
I like bow ties, regular ties look like a noose reminding you that the life is being squeezed out of you, killing you inside little by little as you drag yourself through a horrible, mundane existence doing something you hate with people you can't stand. A bow tie looks cute, like you don't hate your life lol.
honestly Bolo ties make more sense to me. Simply an adornment to a buttoned shirt. Its more minimal and to the point, much more in line with contemporary trends i think. Although it does carry a certain baggage with it. I cant wait for the day we eliminate the tie forever. Next, tuxedos, then suits, then button up shirts, then pants.
One things for sure, a necktie is a killer! In a fight grab the thin part and give a good jenk! The fight will be over very soon, at the most within 2 minutes, because the brain thus not get any oxygen, your opponent will faint!

The tie is a fashion accessory used to add panache to your wardrobe. It's not a slave collar. Being that there are actually slaves in existence today around the world, it's reprehensible for some of you who have freedom and a comfortable, well fed and connected life to compare yourselves to them.
Sorry, but a tie doesn’t necessarily mean that it makes you smarter. Yeah, kinda ironic when you look at my profile picture, but some suits and shirts just aren’t meant for them. For example, a suit with dark shirts would be better off when worn without a necktie.
Honestly I hate the post war floppy tie. The vests kept the tie down and mostly hidden. But now without them and with this ridiculously long ties they're just flopping about and it looks REDICULOUS!

Well, it dies hide the buttons on your shirt. And if ye're a corpulent individual, the ties somewhat hides the belly. Personally, I eish gor the tie to fade away and for the toga to cone back in vogue.
I think it's unfortunate that a person feels like he must wear a tie for special occasions and to not wear one might be viewed as disrespectful... Who gets to make these rules anyhow? Jehovah's Witnesses still wear neckties while attending their online zoom meetings (during the covid fiasco). They view as disrespectful not to. I wonder if Moses will be given a tie to wear when he's resurrected and if he'll have facial hair.
He sort of looks like Better Call Saul. I think a good looking tie and a good looking suit look amazing. This set up he's wearing just makes him look like a fat used car dealer. There are much better fitting suits than that for his build. And better colors too.
I thought ties were there just to give me something to hold onto while I punched the nerd repeatedly in the face with my other hand. :-P Learning is half the battle Now you know ;-) LOL JK
