Do you know a colleague
who is one of these tie criminals?
| 
The Big Knot:
He thinks the bigger the knot in his tie better!
He may be quite arrogant and doesn’t care
who knows, or he's just a little shy and is trying
to hide it. Everything he has is big and flash –
especially the knot in his tie.
|
Mr Chicken Choker:
His tie knot is pulled as tight as it’ll go,
reflecting the stress bundled up within him. Keep
a wide berth – if his knot gets any tighter
something might snap. |
Sid Stains:
He’s spilled beer down his tie during a
liquid lunch – and is that a bit of Weetabix
you can see? His ties are dirty, and they never
make it to the dry cleaners. If he’s this
bad with his ties, when did he last change his
sheets?
|
The Tie Tucker:
He’s never really learnt how to tie a tie
properly, so hides the extra long bit by tucking
it into his trousers (maybe even his pants?). Definitely
a mummy’s boy, he probably also wears a vest. |
Retro Man:
He bought some funky kipper ties in 1983 and he’s
determined to get his money’s worth! Who cares
if they’re wider than his ever-expanding stomach,
he’s determined to wear them till he retires. |

Tie Warehouse’s Gary Baker said: “These
fashion felonies are being committed throughout Britain
on a daily basis! And there’s simply no excuse
for it, with so many ties now available to suit every
style”.
He added: “This is why Tie Warehouse has launched
the Smarten Britain's Workplaces campaign. Over the
next few months we’ll be helping the men of Britain
look their best at work every single day”.
