I'm not carrying around a purse just so I can stop wearing pants.

Costs and benefits, man. Costs and benefits.I'm not carrying around a purse just so I can stop wearing pants.
Aw come on.I own one tie, and it's a clip-on.
Oh yes. Yes.Women look hot in ties rather often![]()
As I said, you don't dress up because you have to. You dress up because you want to.I rarely have to dress up. That's not to say I don't like nice suits and ties, I do, but aside from the once in a blue moon wedding, or funeral, I have no use for them.

The purpose is to look good. Everybody needs that.![]()
I have a TPM tie (Jedi v. Sith with Maul, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon on it). I wish I'd purchased one of the others that were out at the time.Last time I went to a convention I was give a Phantom Menace tie for free.
I have now exhausted everything I have to say about ties.
I haven't looked at these services in any detail, but on the face of it I reckon you'll be better off financially if you buy your own. Over the long term it would cost less.
Or another way to look at it is that you're paying a premium to be able to choose from a wider variety of ties than you would normally have access to.
(On that basis I think it would worsen decision anxiety)
Depends on your needs I guess. I would rather buy a small collection of 'standard' ties than rent.
Good point.What about if I want to acquire higher end ties major labels, like Pink, Armani, Stefano, etc? These get a little expensive and it would be nice to have more certainty before dropping major coin on one that might stay in the back of the closet.
And this, students, is what I'm talking about. QEDI love a guy dressed nicely and ties definitely fit into that category.
For me, it's just a bulky piece of crap that hangs around my neck and serves no practical purpose. I also have to button the top button on my shirt, which make it hotter, and more uncomfortable, especially in the summer, and even worse at an outdoor wedding in the summer. I'll take a nicely tailored suit with a dress shirt open at the collar over anythign with a tie.I don't get the hate against ties. I like ties.
I can see the allure of an open dress shirt, especially in summer, and there are suit/shirt combinations that work beautifully for that (for a classic example, a light grey suit with a white shirt and no tie). If you really dislike wearing a tie, then it's better to leave it at home: better to look relaxed in whatever you are wearing than broadcasting your irritation on a ten mile radius.For me, it's just a bulky piece of crap that hangs around my neck and serves no practical purpose.

That's an excellent point, and I have considered getting tailored shirts to solve that problem, but honestly in my job right now I can get away without wearing a suit or tie. When the time comes, I will look into getting at least one tailored shirt to wear on the rare occasions I need a tie.On the other hand, if wearing a tie is so problematic, then maybe the collar of your shirt is not properly fitted. It's often an issue in store shits. If your neck is just a little bit larger than usual (even by a 1/4 of an inch) the collar will be too tight to be comfortable. On the other hand, if the collar is well-fitted, you can use a even cheat a little and leave the first button open and hide it behind a bigger knot (like a full Windsor).
