Polka Dot Ties
Do you think it is a good idea to wear navy/white or burgendy/white polka dot ties to work? I saw a tie I liked at Brooks Brothers, however I am not sure if it is a good idea. I am an intern at Goldman Sachs.

Too country club in my opinion but whatever - for the right occasion should be fine. If you're an analyst, your dress should be clean, respectable, but demure. Nothing to scream for attention in a meeting. I can't say enough about a nice clean cut tailored suit. Ill fitting clothes are just awful
What are your thoughts on stripe ties? Should I avoid the color red even if it has stripes?
How big are the dots? Furthermore, how big - and numerous, possibly - do dots have to be considered polka dots? Discretely dotted ties such as navy/burgundy with small white dots can be really nice.
The tie has medium amount of dots and they are medium in size.
I did a short search and what I'm thinking of seems to be called "pindot". If it's noticeably bigger than that I would avoid it.
This thread is too funny.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to your VP & MD's favorite color. Also be sure to check what their favorite sports teams are. You do not want to wear the Redskins colors if they are a Cowboys fan and vice versa. This is critical to moving up the ladder. Also check the Goldman Sachs's HR policy on dotted ties. You do not want to be sent home from work for incorrect width of tie or quantity of dots. Attention to detail is important
my company has polka dot Thursday... but I don't know about the other firms..
Too.... loud--unless the dots are no bigger than the dot a felt tip fine point sharpie would make when tapped on paper.
just my .02
If it's just two giant dots, is it still considered polka dots?
i would just stick to solid color ties.
You need more dots. Right size, but more dots.
This tie is completely fine just know that it is probably one of the most overbought ties at brooks brothers and everyone has it
All of those ties you just posted are fine. This thread is moronic.
