ballmousePersonally, I think people look silly with a collared shirt, jacket, and no tie.

OMG thank you for saying this. I think about this at least 10x a day during my commute. People look like absolute wanks when they have a suit on with no tie.

I think people look silly wearing a black suit during work hours, but that's just me (and the majority of people who care about what's appropriate for work).

If you're in Asia it's a different story (where black suits and pink ties are common). But in the US, black suits are generally reserved as funeral and evening wear.

In this situation it probably doesn't matter, although if you're going no tie, why not just wear a blazer and slacks/khakis?
