What do you think about novelty ties? Like piano ties

    I love novelty ties. When I used to work in food service and the managers had to wear ties, that's pretty much all I wore. I had a huge collection. TV characters, holidays, butterflies, etc. They made having to wear a tie tolerable. Eventually, I learned that women could get away with scarves, so I switched to them... mostly abstract designs, rather than prints, but I still have a bunch of the old ties somewhere in the back of my closet.

    I'm thinking about getting a piano tie. Like Hawaiian/ tropical shirts, the novelty ties are a bit 80's and 90's, but I hope they make a return again soon. Christmas ones are always "in" though, during the holidays.

    LOL.  I love novelty ties too.  The tackier the better.

    They can add a lot of class to any look.

    I know, right? What kind of guy wears a pink shirt?

  • I do.  It shows my comfort with my masculinity and disregard for insipid social conventions about colors.

  • With the possible exception of the cummerbund, the tie is the most inane item of male wear.

    I love them!
    :)

    Some of mine include:
    several Daffy Duck styles -- Daffy Duck is my MAN!! Favorite cartoon character!
    several "I Love Lucy" ties
    a Grinch Who Stole Christmas tie
    several Dr. Seuss ties
    and a Snoopy tie from "Peanuts"
    and I do have a piano keyboard tie, too -- it doesn't actually play or anything

    But I don't enjoy wearing ties.
    :)

    I'm thinking about getting a piano tie. Daffy Duck would be cool, also. :)

    Well, they have their place on the tie shelf I suppose.  The only ones I've ever really liked though had the intended message (so to speak) hidden among the print on the fabric.....like this golf club tie.

    I used to have some "Taz" ties. I have a periodic table ties. I haven't worn a tie though for 12 years.

    Time to put on your periodic table back on. They're coming back!
