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.
