I find constraining clothes are constraining because they are ill-fitting. Solution: do not buy ill-fitting garments. Most men do not know how to buy clothes that fit. For those men who do know, they were fortunate enough to learn from their well-dressed father or from books or from a proper tailor. Also, you have to care to know.
- pg 17y agoTies aren't cut, so they can't be ill-cut. Nor are they the province of tailors, but of haberdashers. Ties are intrinsically constraining. Unless you want to go the Reagan wattle route, a route which which a stylish, aristocratic, polysyllabic gentleman like yourself would surely eschew.
- eguanlao 17y agoI was referring to the cut/selection of the shirt coupled with the tying of the tie. My mistake for not making that clear. You are correct. Ties are intrinsically constraining. And so are belts. I find that if I want to be more thoughtful and creative, removing my belt does the trick. ;-) The people around me, especially the women, have gotten used to my trousers down at my ankles. :-D
