Tie-less Paxman Ridiculed

Today's press has attacked the BBC's Jeremy Paxman for not wearing a tie. This article in the Daily Mail was particularly scathing:

The Daily Mail even goes as far as saying that Paxman has 'lost his dignity' by revealing his 'old-lizard neck'. It says that he is at least 8 years late to the 'no-ties party' which has seen presenters move slowly towards the Jimmy Savile shell suit look.

Of course, the release of Skyfall, the latest Bond film, has reignited debate over the wearing of ties. At Ties Planet we have always maintained that a tie or other neckwear is essential when trying to look your best and it appears that current trendsetters agree with us. The 'no-ties party' is no longer the place to be, not that we were ever on the guest list anyway!

Scruffy Tie-less Brits Under Fire

In Country Life magazine V & A Director, Professor Martin Roth has blasted the lack of dress standards in the UK. His comments were reported in both the Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph today.

Remarkably, only 18% of British office staff wear a tie. Falling standards have certainly disappointed Professor Roth but with the type of ties available at Ties Planet it is surely a matter of time before men are smartening up their act again!
