18: The Tie
Sure, it's a little-gender specific. But I know the ladies can cope.
A tie completes an outfit. Smart suit, expensive shirt, well-polished shoes. But nothing to hold it all together? Literally. Nor stylistically. Bizarre.
Chinos and button-down? Step it up.
A tie says this is an occasion, even one as simple as 'work'.
A tie says I gave this some thought, even though I need not have bothered.
Oh, it's a little uncomfortable? That's professionalism.
Oh, nobody else is wearing one? That's building your personal brand.
Oh, it makes me more creative? That's a mindset.
Yes, the tie. Especially on dress-down Friday.
