All My Ties - Part 2

Mad as hell ties and they're not going to take it anymore.  In part one of All My Ties one very distinguished necktie pleads his case to be worn to work on the following day.  Ties that talk, "I'm subtle, understated, I won't over power and yet I contribute to an impression of quiet confidence."   The following morning that collection of unique ties from across the spectrum of fashion leads a revolution against the casual dress code.  If you love neckties you'll love part 2 of All My Ties.



Talking Zealous Neckties With Personality

All My Neckties

A revolution against the casual dress code led by a band of zealous neckties seems like a cheap 50's Saturday Horror film.  It's Attack of the Killer Neckties, not much unlike Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.  These are angry neckties and they are out to make a change.  One man sees it a bit different. 

Check out part one of All My Ties.

What Casual Really Means

Casual Friday Gone Too Far
CAS-U-AL
Pronunciation: ( Kazh’OO-ul )

This photo is a bit exagerated but it does get the point across rather nicely.  It is funny how the same word with just two extra letters - CASUALTY - takes on a whole new meaning. Becoming the casualty of not being well groomed - the outcome of being casual in attire - which can result in the un-welcome result of losing the faith and respect of peers. Not achieving the full potential of one’s position in career or perhaps not realizing opportunity that is forgiven due to being over looked.  In the not so distant past, a man who wanted to really be taken seriously in his carreer and in his life usually wore a suit and necktie. It was simply a way of acheiving distinction.  Dressing up for work and when socializing showed respect and as well earned its share of the same.

By chance, without definite or serious intention, careless, apathetic, unconcerned, irregular, mishap, uncertain. These are some of the words that are associated with the definition of the word casual. All of which are words that most men would prefer not being used to describe their character.
