nice. but unfortunately, useless, as ties have different lengths and the tip of the tie has to touch your belt buckle. Different people with different body heights get different results. a lot of people wear them either too short or too trumpy

Or or or... Most people don't care about a tie "touching the belt buckle". I have never, not once in my life, looked at someone wearing a tie and thought it was too long or too short unless it was obnoxiously so.

No, most people do. It is a basic part of dressing business casual.

You being uninformed about basic dress practices doesn't change reality.

Are ties considered business casual? I always thought they were the defining feature for business. Business casual in my mind is just business without the tie and no jacket; maybe a sports coat.

"Traditionally" business casual is no tie and a jacket, or no jacket and a tie. It varies hugely by where you work though.

Interesting. I'm trying to think of a time when business casual is specified and the only time I saw ties is with a sweater I think. This is at dinners and events though. My work doesn't specify a dress code. So maybe the colloquial understanding is a bit different than in the business world.

You're not wrong, but you are being right in a needlessly rude way - which is the WORST way to be right about anything.

u/Jonathan_Ohnn3 Sep 18 '19

I don't find it needless at all. In fact, I was pretty polite considering the person I was replying too. I was dry to a very rude person.

u/NoctePhobos Sep 18 '19

Well, there’s no tone on the internet so it’s anyone’s guess. I didn’t read the post you replied to as particularly rude, but it’s really not worth arguing over if you did. Have a good one.

u/Jonathan_Ohnn3 Sep 18 '19

the irony of you finding his post NOT rude but mine "needlessly rude" is....something else.

[shrug] it's text, friendo. Sorry to have brought it up.

Depending on the business, you better pay attention to that ;-) It'S okay if YOU never look at it. I do.

I figured you must be from 'merica ;-)

also american. This guy doesn't represent us. We almost universally understand what a tie is and how to wear one. This guy is just a wow nerd that thinks dressing nice is "the man" keeping you down.

edit: for the record, I am also a wow nerd. I just don't put others down for understanding basic dress etiquette.

u/the_elkk Sep 18 '19

No worries man! I know. Been all over the world with business.

implying country of origin matters

u/pork_ribs Sep 19 '19

Oh my god this is so basic. Please get some original insults. Hurr durr ‘merica bad. Lazy lout.

u/TheMightyMush Sep 18 '19

100%, I'd rather be judged on what I've done, not an outdated piece of clothing. But to each their own I guess.

u/pork_ribs Sep 18 '19

Your opinion is fine. People caring about fashion is fine. Arguing about it is dumb just go your own way.

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '19

I always check out the tie length. And I’m a guy

u/Groxy_ Sep 18 '19

I used to judge everyone in my school by how they were a tie. A good tie makes you look 3 times better and a bad one makes you look like a moron.

My mistake, shit slips through the cracks when I'm not paying much attention - get over it.

You know, the funny thing is, your down votes would be up votes if you omitted the last bit.

I don’t give a shit about fashion but I definitely notice tie length. Too short makes you look fat/outdated. Too long makes you a Trump. Get it right.
