This "suit without a tie" thing is contagious. In London, it is either that or, when wearing a tie, the tie must have the most ridiculous large patters, preferrably a 3-for-65GBP TM Lewin special.


I LOVE , this foum

And it gets worse when the suit is will-fitting, the shoes pointy, and the accessories (bag, watch) cheap.

Re: Tie vs No Tie: Brits and US Differences in the Media and Workplace

The pointy shoe thing is an enigma. Been all the rage over here, since I got here over a decade a go.

It intrigues me no end, the Dutch have their own Van Bommel shoe maker who have been making shoes since 1734, they're not up to Northampton bench grades, but neither are the cost. And yet, I see very few men wearing these shoes, instead I see these pointy brown monstrosities with grey suits and open neck shirts with no ties. That's pretty much the standard business wear now.

Any shirt as long as it is not white or light blue. And button cuffs need to have this weird square shape with that triangular cut-out.

Ha ha ha you both looked him up. Now try Rudolf Moshammer.

Disclosure: Moshammer would neither count as an industrialist or intellectual.

Well, Grupp is an unusual character in the German business world, often appearing on talk shows, defending his strategy not to manufacture in low-cost countries.

Well, Grupp is a hero, ha ha ha, he frequently appears on German TV and has very strong views on how the country should be run.
