Make a tie work in a workplace that doesn’t dress the part

I love wearing ties, but in the modern office environment pairing it with a suit really offends most people, when even senior leadership is showing up, like the just came down the mountains in functional outdoorsy stuffy and birkenstocks.

So oftentimes I swap the suit for a cardigan and some chinos and dress it down even further with some white sneakers.

The cardigan hides the better part of the tie and minimizes the gap to all the coworker.

If you have customer contact, go for the classic suit& tie look, embrace it.
