“I proffer that we dress out of respect for the quality of the event. If one values the relationship with a business partner, or customer, or date, etc., then we make the effort to show that value by dressing upwards from how we’d dress if there were no factors influencing us. So, for me, a tie is a statement of respect or appreciation and a way of ‘decorating’ our appearance.”
