Why The Telegraph Thinks Ties Are Essential

A piece by Iain Martin in The Telegraph highlights why men should maintain high standards of dress.

Martin writes:

"This is the main mistake often made by those who declare formality, and in particular the tie, dead. They assume that it is about self, when it isn’t. Wearing a jacket and tie for work, or complying properly with a dress code as a guest, is about respect for others. At issue is not what the wearer wants. What matters are his customers, colleagues or voters."

So there you have it - long live the tie!

Who Says Bow Ties are In

According to an article in The Telegraph, bow ties have been propelled back into the fashion stakes thanks to Dr Who.

Needless to say, there is a wide range of bow ties available at Tiesplanet.com.  Whether you buy into the trend, or simply want to put an ironic slant on this very traditional look, there is something to go with any shirt.

Keeping Up Appearances

The MCC has issued picture cards to clarify its dress code, as reported by The Telegraph.
In the Pavilion and Long Room at Lord's gentlemen shall wear "lounge suits or tailored jacket and trousers, shirt, tie or cravat and shoes with socks". This helps maintain standards which have been in place for hundreds of years and the MCC tie is certainly a great British tradition which will be around for some time.
