If your husband is employed, does he regularly wear a tie to work?

[Caraway]

Suit every day. Except for one day during the holidays when they want everyone to be "festive".

[DarlaS]

No tie. He is a machinist.

 

Is it my eyesight, or is today's Google Doodle just a tiny bit crooked? Is that on purpose?

[Tap]

No tie. He is a machinist.

 

Is it my eyesight, or is today's Google Doodle just a tiny bit crooked? Is that on purpose?

 

Yes, it is crooked and I assume yes, it is on purpose.

[DarlaS]

Yes, it is crooked and I assume yes, it is on purpose.

 

Thought I might be seeing things (I have an astigmatism.).

[edelweiss]

My DH works from home, so no. ;) He does occasionally when he has to give a presentation or have an important meeting at a client's site, but otherwise it is not necessary.

[Hannah C.]

DH is a waiter. No tie.

[Shellydon]

Yes. Almost daily. He is an engineer holding a vice president position in his company. He dressed that way before moving up to his current position though.

[Karen in CO]

DH works from home most of the week so he doesn't really have to wear pants to work. We have both worked places that required ties. It really depends on location, job, and atmosphere. Ds will need a suit+tie when he starts work as an intern next year.

[Julie Smith]

Nope, never.

 

He only has worn shirt and tie for job interviews.

[myfunnybunch]

My dh works from home. Sometimes he wears a bathrobe to work. Sans tie.

I worked in the insurance underwriting business in the early 90s. When I started it was strictly business attire, women in hose and heels, men in ties and dress shoes. About 92 or so the company went business casual. Ties were no longer required, women started dressing more casually. We only had business dress when the corporate heads showed up.

 

It was kind of funny, because mens' casual wear wasn't what it is today. Inevitably you have 3 or 4 men show up in the same khakis and same color polo shirt. It was like school uniforms.

[arghmatey]

Mine doesn't even wear a tie to his board meetings!

 

They also just approved shorts for summer. Hilarious!

[Katiebug_1976]

Nope, dh never wears a tie to work. Usually a polo shirt and khaki cargo pants or jeans.

[smilesonly]

Not ever! A tie would clash with shorts and birkenstocks. Not even when meeting with million+ dollar clients.;)

[Mrs Mungo]

My dh works from home. Sometimes he wears a bathrobe to work. Sans tie.

Oh, whew, I had a Hugh Hefner image for a second there.

 

Warning: do not google for images of Hugh Hefner. :001_huh:

[Crimson Wife]

My DH works in the finance industry and wears his suit jacket and a tie maybe 2-3 times per month.

[eternalknot]

For years my husband wore BDUs, and now he wears a tee-shirt.

 

I had to bribe him to wear a tie to our son's First Holy Communion. At our wedding he wore an Aloha shirt. He really, really, really hates ties. Really hates them. Really. I keep asking what childhood trauma contributed to his ridiculously intense hatred for ties, but he can't explain it.

 

I tried to get him into bowties, but he hates those even more LOL. He's so not fun with the fashion :P

[Jean in Newcastle]

What does "regularly" mean? Every day? No. 3 out of 5 days? Yes.

[Running the race]

Yes, about half the days.

[Dawn in OH]

When my husband worked in IT he wore a tie everyday. However right now he's working in a factory, so he wears an ugly uniform with his name on it.

[m0mmaBuck]

Nope, dh never wears a tie to work. Usually a polo shirt and khaki cargo pants or jeans.

 

Sounds like my husband's work "uniform."

[BMW]

Since my dh builds outdoor construction elevators and cranes, he'd better not... it would be quite a danger hazard! Mechanic pants and t-shirts... sweatshirts when it's cold. This man works SO hard and gets so worn out... Two more years and he'll get to switch jobs... oh!! 1-1/2 years!!!

[cathmom]

No, he does not. It's very casual at his place of employment.

 

All this tie talk reminds me of an amusing anecdote from years ago. I was a lot shyer than I am now. I had gone to a conference with another female student from my college and two other female students from another college, whom I had never met before. They had come to the conference with two male students from their college. I was alone in our hotel room when someone knocked on the door. It was one of the male students, wanting to ask the girls he knew about which tie went best with the rest of his ensemble. Since they weren't in the room, he asked me for my opinion and I gave it to him.

 

Later that evening after the formal event, we were all sitting around and the girls asked him if he had met me yet. He replied, "Yes, she helped me get dressed earlier." I about died, and a second later he realized how that sounded and blushed worse than I have ever seen a man blush before or since!!!!!

[Barb_]

Every day. Poor guy.

[tomandlorih]

My DH works for a local bank in the commercial loan dept. No ties required.. just dress shirts and slacks. He'd probably quit if he had to wear one:lol:

[MaMa2005]

Not any more. Many moons ago, male teachers had to wear a tie. My DH hated them.

 

One day, while laminating some items, he bent over the laminating machine and his tie started to be laminated. :scared: Thank goodness he quickly turned off the machine. However, he was the only person in the teacher workroom for about 10 minutes and thus, was stuck to the machine. What a sight he was when one of his colleagues finally appeared. After some extensive cutting of the offending tie, DH was finally free.

 

He hasn't worn a tie to work since. :D

[Liz CA]

Polo Shirt and nice Jeans or Dockers.

[SABE]

No. His dress code is a collared shirt and slacks.

[Laura Corin]

It depends on what country we have lived in/what nationality the company was. When we lived in Hong Kong, he could dress down when he worked for a US company, but when he went to work for a Hong Kong based company, he had to wear a tie. In London he had to wear a tie, and also in Scotland. In Scotland, not everyone seems to shave every day though.

 

Laura

[creekland]

No tie here. Mine's a Civil Engineer and we live in a rural area. He doesn't even wear a tie to township meetings.

[happypamama]

Hahahahahahaha -- DH wearing a tie to work! Nope, he does not wear a tie. I don't think he ever has worn a tie to work. For a long time, he worked in the field, so he wore t-shirts and jeans and got dirty and dusty. Now he works in the office, but it's a small office and casual, so he still wears jeans and t-shirts but doesn't generally get dirty and dusty. If he is meeting clients, he'll wear a button-down shirt, but not a super dressy one. I can't think of any work occasions where he's needed a tie, though. (Construction field just isn't very formal, and clients always love him, so he must be doing something right.) Even for job interviews, nice-casual has always worked for him.

 

The last time he wore a tie in the past several years was for our homeschool co-op's spring formal a few weeks ago -- and that was probably only because the dress code specified ties.

[WishboneDawn]

Oh, whew, I had a Hugh Hefner image for a second there.

 

Warning: do not google for images of Hugh Hefner. :001_huh:

 

Of course I now have to go google for images of Hugh Hefner. Thanks. :glare::D

[nono]

My dh works from home. Sometimes he wears a bathrobe to work. Sans tie.

:iagree:Last week, my dh's day unexpectedly started an hour early, during breakfast. Around 2 pm, we all convened for a late lunch. After we were done eating, my dh stood up and said, "I guess I have time to shower and change before my next conference call." Yep, he was still in his pjs. I hadn't even noticed. :001_huh:

[Ginevra]

No, but he's blue-collar. He wears Red Wings and Levis to work. :drool5:

 

 

Some people dig kilts, but it's hard-working, red-blooded American man that revs my engines. :D

[Rhonda in TX]

DH wears Dockers-type pants and button-up shirts. When we met he (and other men he worked with) wore ties to work. He's in the same industry, so it's just gotten more casual over the years. He used to always wear a tie to church as well and now rarely does. I'm now trying to think of the last time I saw him wear one.

[BridgeTea]

No, but he's blue-collar. He wears Red Wings and Levis to work. :drool5:

 

 

 

OH, yeah! Throw in a white T-shirt and leather tool belt and I'm wide awake. Wow, I miss MrTea's construction job...

 

No tie on his current job, either. Safety hazard in his factory.

[UnsinkableKristen]

I voted "other" because he regularly wears one sometimes :D

 

DH works from home most of the week and wears shorts and tshirts. However, when he meets with any clients (which is frequently, at least once a week) he wears a full suit and tie. It's a thing with his boss, when they meet with clients they have to wear a suit. Jacket included, even if it's Arizona and NO. ONE. else is wearing one.

[Chris in VA]

LOL--He's an Episcopal priest. He wears a collar. :001_smile:

I will say that, for 4 years, he was an assistant priest and also a professor at SMU (adjunct). He'd come home in the middle of the day to change before going to the uni--said he felt a little like Clark Kent.

[MBM]

Yes, he wears a suit and tie and carries a briefcase. He has to dress very conservatively, so he can't even wear the fun ties.

[Luckymama]

Dh wears a tie (and a full suit) when he goes to the office 2-4x per week. When the weather is really hot and humid, he will wear khakis and an oxford shirt without a tie.

 

He likes the working from home days when he can wear whatever he wants :D

[Kipling]

Yes, almost every day. And within the last two years, he has developed a fascination with bowties, so he wears those about half the time (not my favorite look) :tongue_smilie:

[lulubelle]

At my dh work many do wear ties and many don't. There is no dress code. But, one of his co-workers had always declared that one must dress there for their next position. He says dh will never move up. Dh loves his job and just laughs.

[Word Nerd]

Nope.

[Violet Crown]

Dh finished grad school with unusual speed, and landed a good professorial position immediately. He wore a tie for the first few years so as not to be mistaken for a graduate student.

 

When he started to get gray hairs, he ditched the tie as unnecessary.

[Coffeemama]

Ties are reserved for formal meetings or presentations to boards...other than that just a dress shirt with jacket (summer no jacket). This is in a traditional old school company where you would've expected ties daily 15 years ago.

[Matryoshka]

Nope. He works in the computer industry - usually it's the sales & marketing folk that wear the ties - the engineers can wear whatever they want. Usually he wears jeans and a T-shirt, or flannel shirt in the winter.

[Wheres Toto]

Nope. DH is a VP in Analytical R&D. He wears slacks/khakis and a button down shirt. When he gets to work, he puts on a labcoat over it.

[Serenade]

My husband usually wears jeans and a button up shirt. He is an engineer, and that is the standard "uniform" where he works.

[Firefly]

Well, Dh is unemployed at the moment, but in the past it really depended on the company. Mostly no, it was just "business casual" for attire, unless there was a client meeting or some other more formal gathering.

[mommyto2]

Yes, as a minister in a small town the tie is still required attire! : ) He is not a fan of wearing it in the 100 degree heat.
