    Ties make no sense. It’s literally a strip of cloth tied around your neck that serves no useful purpose at all. It’s idiotic that they have managed to survive as a part of modern clothing.

      What? It’s a piece of fashion: it doesn’t need a “purpose”. You want to wear monocolor onesie jumpsuits everywhere?

        I’d argue fashion is a waste of human effort IMO.

        Make functional outfits and comfortable ones. Literally nothing else. “Formal” should not even be a word at all, much less a genre of clothing.

        Designers making wearable art pieces is kinda silly, but it gets by with being art, but that’s as far as I’ll allow the line.

        Saving a useless accessory that’s been mandated for certain jobs/purposes is actually obscene to me. It being “fashion” is no help, and given that it’s the only reason it exists, it should be fucking deleted from our awareness.

        Fight me.

        If someone wants to wear one of their own choice, that’s fine. It shouldn’t be mandated. The issue I have is that wearing a strip of cloth around your neck somehow makes you a “professional” in the eyes of others, and not wearing one means you are being “unprofessional”.
