Tie on the Ropes?

June 19, 2008 | RSS | EMAIL | PRINT | 2 COMMENTS

WSJ reports that tie sales are down to 50% of what they were in 1995 ($677 million vs. $1.3 billion) and only 6% of American men wear a tie to work every day. Crazy stuff.

My real point, though, is that I thought this quote was quite interesting: "Power is being able to dress the way you want." Thought it was a really interesting point about the way business culture has changed over the years. People are now dressing down to make their authority felt.

I wear jeans to work so that I look like a programmer, not someone's secretary....

I rock the tie everyday. As an engineer, a lot of people dress way down. I like to look sharp and leave a good impression, so I wear a tie. Dress for the position you want. People have asked my friends if I am manager or not (I am not). The tie will never die in my opinion.
