WHen it comes to clothing, I tend to go for the casual look and feel. Nothing like a pair of jeans and a tee right?
But while I enjoy my casual clothes, I'm not averse to dressing up every now and again. I recently MC'd an event and with the gig came a tux complete with a necktie. The tie was the first thing to get thrown aside. Too formal and, in my opinion, they come across as pretty stuffy and old school.
Why is it some people still think that to be authoritative, respected or trusted, men have to be seen in a tie?
Remember the debate when John Campbell turned up on TV without a tie?
He soon had one back on, but by the end of his show he was tie-less again and looking far more like a real person. Over on the other channel, Mike Hosking is the same. The other night there were three former All Blacks on TV all wearing ties discussing the game that the ABs were about to play. They just looked wrong. Surely they don't need to be wearing a tie to prove they can analyse a game?
