In reply to the discussion: Dress Codes - An unnecessary vestige of an exclusionary and discriminatory past or something that still has a purpose... [View all]Abolishinist
(2,495 posts)64. It's not just the jacket,
it's that yellow polyester tie. Polyester or synthetic fibers should never be an option
Which tie fabric is the right one?
When selecting the material, the season and the climate should always be taken into account. While warmer ties made of wool and cashmere are more suitable on cold autumn and winter days and can be worn to thicker jackets of, for instance, tweed, light ties made of silk or linen should be better worn in the warmer months in spring and summer and can combined perfectly to thinner cotton or linen jackets. In summery colors, they do not only spread good mood, but also provide a refreshing spot of color in the outfit.

Accept it - MAGA has driven us back to the 1950s - it is more obvious every day.

Yep, same problem as mentioned earlier. It looks like it shrunk in the dryer.
