window shopping

[threeplusfire]

It occurred to me this year that I have almost nothing in the way of formal wear, so I've slowly acquired a few things here and there. I am currently shopping for ties and bow ties. This of course requires a poll.

(Once upon a time, I had a gorgeous three piece suit. It was grey with a gold pinstriped vest. I loved it so much. I was fourteen.)

[Poll #1772006]

I'm inclined to the diagram one because I like the intensity of the pattern. I like the idea of the peacock and bee ties, but I wish they were a bit brighter.

That shop seems very ammenable to printing it up in different colors of ink. There's a note on the peacock tie about it - a brighter blue maybe or silver?

[splix.livejournal.com]

Bright blue might be neat, and I confess I'm always partial to sparkles, though I'd be a little concerned that silver would be hyper-80s. Hm!

I'm partial to the circuit board as I did a 2 year program in electronics in the late 90s.

It is so neat looking! They have that pattern in the regular ties and I am so tempted to buy an emerald green one with the copper printing. :D

[marz]

Now THAT is a tie I would need to own!

I think you should get cigarettes and nicotine AND peacock on black. THEY ARE SO AWESOME!

I am so tempted to BUY EVERYTHING EVER. They have so many great ties.

Hurray for bow ties. I love the honey bees and peacock.

Caffeine is over done.
If you're gonna go geeky, the apollo has the best pattern.

The love for peacock is surprisingly strong in this poll.

Shrug? Honestly, I love a good tie, but I cannot imagine print and tie meeting in anything other than bloodsplosions of despair. I don't even really like striped ties anymore. Solids.

I'm very fond of patterned ties. Hence this poll.

[degreeabsolute.livejournal.com]

Indeed - the tone of my response was meant to be more apologetic in that I had no useful advice to give. It was...not. My mistake.

It's okay, participation is not mandatory in LJ polls. Not until the robot overlords come to power anyway.
