AddinatorNot everything you see in GQ is a good idea..

Haha, I personally like them. However OP, like the rest of this thread seems to agree, so do I. Not work material.

will get you laid in greenwich village. but maybe keep em outta the office

Remember, once you're inside you're on your own. Oh, you mean I can't count on you? No. Good!
 

Being German, I'm afraid to inform you they are NOT considered trendy. At least not by the guys I work with or my friends back from school.

exactly. i have seen a german guy wear: jeans, black shoes, brown belt, short sleeved shirt and a tie. another typical example is: grey trousers, brown boots, black pin-stripe waistcoat (not buttoned up), bright pink / purple shirt and brown tie. dunno what goes on in that country

acrew09I think you're referring to a "knit tie". They have no place with a suit, except perhaps a seersucker one. Knit ties are considered a very casual tie. I would only consider it as an option if you are going to a country club that requires a tie or some place similar.
No, he literally means a square-ended tie.

Don't do it. Just don't...
