Tie with polo/tee's, tacky or not.

[Aku]

I'm curious on what people think of this. I think if you can pull it off, then you should do it, I've seen alot of people attempt at it and it ends up looking retarded but if you can do it, then you should be able to.

seeing a majority (99%) of people look like douches trying to do this, you probably shouldn't. unless you're going to steal bam's fingerless gloves and wear them also

[Hella Hyphy]

Looks stupid 99% of the time. I think neutral colored tie with neutral colored polo could work, but then again, i think it depends very much on the person wearing it.

[homme.homme]

Great for Halloween.

[Fabulaz]

A tee with a tie, and you might as well paint your nails black and put on some eye liner.

[machineo]

i like to keep a closed enough mind that 100% of the time a tie with a tee is stupid. 99% for tie/polo. its just dressing strange for strange's sake, which is a desperate attempt for attention, and inadvertently, haterade.

99% for tie/polo.

this is funny. seeing this topic, I instantly thought to myself that 99% of the time this doesn't work.

[herpsky]

it only works when you wear a burberry polo with that nice plaid

[Corbin Law]

only in a 12 angry men party. will this work.

[Tyler Durden]

to pull it off all you need is "getting out of bed" hair (you should know wut i mean). people will look at you like a crazy person but somehow accept you for not really giving a fuck.

[keysonawire]

You can wear a tie with anything that has a collar. Polo, sure, but the colors need to be complimentary and not too bright. Try a skinny tie. T-shit, no, unless you're Avril Lavigne.

[jeepster]

i think an ascot would be more effective, if not a little flamboyant. i'd avoid pairing them because in honesty, you could just wear a regular button down shirt and a tie if it looks nice, and just role up the sleeves.

[ktothe]

A polo with a T is retarded. However with a polo it can work. There was a pick of a dude on one of those Jap fashion sites - the one that has candid shots from people broken down by districts/cities, tokyo sheebuya, etc. He was wearing a stetson, purple polo, black tie, and black pants. I wish I would have saved it becaus it looked pretty fly.

I could see a navy/dark blue polo with a dark red tie, something with two muted colors like that, but it'd be tough to pull off

[STC]

NO, polos are ment to be worn without the tie to give it that "chill" look. if you want to wear a tie so bad then just wear a button up.

[hewmiri]

fashion "rules" are bullshit. anything can work. it's ok to be creative. challenge yourself.

Um....

Yup.

[triniboy27]

I'm not even bothering to read what the rest of you said - why is this even a fucking question?

Everyone needs to stop dressing like fucking clowns or trying to be 'ironic'.

Exactly, I wish we had more people who realized this

[outty]

unfortunately in this case people who do this are challenged, mentally.

[Pandemonium]

this is hilarious - when hewmiri just said that, everyone's train of thought shifted so quickly.

some heavy propaganda shit here.

[Fookums]

Usually I'd say that fashion rules do matter, otherwise you'd fall into the case of trying too hard, but I really feel like trying to do this without making it look terrible.

slim fit Burberry polo, popped collar, navy blue; with tucked in red tie. No idea how it'd be, but I feel like bringing in a red tie to a burberry store and trying it out in the dressing room. I just know it'll look terrible, but I'm curious.

Thinking about it, it could work if worn with a vest.

[ktothe]

Now that you bring it up, I think the guy I mentioned had a black vest also. It truely was awesome. I'll see If I can find it today...

[aho]

Take this with a grain of salt...I didn't have the balls to post this on WAYWT because I know how horrid it looks (hell I just threw it together in seconds) and I'm not actually wearing it today. And to my defense, this is a very unflattering angle, the jeans aren't the best fit, I didn't even tie the tie correctly and the polo is a few years old! With all that said and done here are the pics:

Ok, blast away (I fear this will end up on worst waywt)

[josephr]

this almost never works. but this was a try-

[seemeugly]

You should not try this look unless you are rail thin and know entirely too much about music.

[upandcoming]

people dont even do that were i live....

[travisio]

i think that the look rarely works but if it works, it's usually on a polo shirt with a dress shirt-style collar (as opposed to a ribbed one), and probably with a jacket. i don't think it usually works because a polo shirt was designed as sportswear whereas a tie has more or less always been formal wear so it's kind of clash but the lines between casual and formalwear are constantly being blurred (for better or for worse). maybe someday it'll be as commonplace as jeans and blazers are now.

[seemeugly]

I sincerely hope you are wrong about that.

[travisio]

i think you're talking about my last sentence. i do too, i don't like the look and i hate what it stands for. even though i do dig this lace-ups with jeans look that's been makings its way though waywt.
