You cannot be serious.

How many guys do you see in hats with formal/business wear? Ever?

Jewelry? Not at all associated with formal/business wear.

Belts? People have been wearing belts with everything since forever. And yeah, rocking a belt that you'd wear with your suit with a pair of jeans would be incredibly douchey.

Ties are not casual wear. End of discussion.

Skinny ties are definately more casual then a standard suit tie.

I would have to respectfully disagree. There are a lot of ties not meant to be used in a business or formal fashion. A lot of skinny ties come to mind and I really do not believe skinny ties are made just for hipsters. In fact as with most ties and suits as long as the width of the tie is comparable to the width of the lapel then by all means go for it…or I may be a hipster queer…

I realize that many ties are made for casual use. However I am yet to see a tie in a "casual" situation that looks classy, which has pretty much been the purpose of a tie since forever. There's no rule (other than good sense) that binds the tie to one element of fashion, but personally I a) wince at and b) make a point of belittling anyone I see wearing them a la Timberlake.

how do you define casual situation? I class casual sitaution as going to a bar or club. If I was merely just getting dressed to go out to the shops I would not be wearing a tie and shirt.

By 'casual' I basically mean without being in a formal and/or business situation.

For the record, I agree with JDG. Ties in a casual situation just doesnt make sense to me.

Still seems strange that you would get worked up about people wearing a tie. I personally don't give a shit what people wear anymore, no such thing as originality.

If by 'worked up' you mean 'Making a couple posts about it on a messageboard after the topic was brought up and making snide remarks to/about people who wear hipster ties in casual situations,' then yes, I am extremely worked up.

I'm a reserved englishman...this is definately "worked up" by my standards.

I guess you haven't read many of my posts. When I'm "worked up" you'll certainly know it.
