(I mean ties, BTW. I'm still an untreated alcoholic) I am saddened by this trend, however. I would very much like people to look less slovenly.

I long for a return of classic style to rescue my delicate aesthetic sensibilities from the hideous land of tacky ying and bland, khaki yang that the US has become.
