Am I an asshole for wearing a tie?

I genuinely love suits. I spend a lot of money on them (typically 3k a suit) and i love ties just as much (spend $300 ea.). I understand that fashion is evolving and general office couture is moving away from wearing ties and more casual.

My question is am I an asshole for continuing to wear ties? Or should I just wear what I want? People mention it, usually complementary (you look sharp, etc.)

Thanks sexy monkeys

Nobody cares. And it they do, fuck them, you’re dressing up and feeling good.

Really depends for what you do I'd say. In IB and dressier parts of "high finance," by all means I don't think you're an asshole. If you're in tech or something, then it'd just look really out of place.
