The necktie is surprisingly a controversial topic among men.
Most men don’t like wearing them but some feel it is important to give that professional image anyway.
Even style experts disagree with some saying the necktie is fading from fashion while others claim it is more important than ever.

Formality is also associated with more education, along with power and wealth.
It’s a quandary of the wishes of the American male versus public opinion.
