    Short sleeve shirt no tie, long sleeve shirt feels wrong without a tie especially if wearing cufflinks.

    I bet the pope would not have given £1bn(initially) to the DUP.....

    Begs the question what you wear when you're not at work? Or, worse still, round the house.

    John Bercow: MPs don't need to wear ties - BBC News

    I only wear ties these days to go to interviews. If I then get to the company and I see all men wearing ties I'm turned off working for that company. Ties are so outdated and not necessary. My intelligence does not reduce just because I take my tie off (Ok - opened myself up to abuse there but this is General so I'll take the hit )

    What are the general views on this?

    Those that are least likely to wear a tie are often those most likely to need to.

    If I'm wearing a suit, I'll wear a tie. To me, it looks like something is missing otherwise.

    That said, I only wear suits for interviews, weddings etc...

    But there's a part of me, 'cos I'm old fashioned, which thinks that male MPs etc should show some respect for the office they hold by wearing a tie.

    Otherwise, before long, they'll all be turning up for work looking like Peston.
