Of course Sweden is a corporate slave who's agreed with his employer to wear a tie, but from Åland I had expected more resistance to that. Or is he taking it back off on his way to work but pretending in order to make Sweden happy? Ever the best boyfriend.
@Nyan I am! I'm weird for viewing the tie as a symbol of oppression. I think other people are weird for not viewing them that way, but since they're in the majority I don't get to dictate what's weird I guess ^^"
@Nyan Awww poor you Someday you'll meet someone, introduce them to your little carrot-pickle-chocolate-cake-mush and they'll like it, and you'll be the best friends ever. Until then, hang in there, life isn't always equally friendly to everyone. In case it matters, you seem alright to me
Just for you to know. I love neckties, wear them so often that even my daughter draws me with them, have a collection of 50+ . I am the only one in my company of 900 who wears them. I am a (little) boss. Not even the boss of my boss ever wears neckties in the office. Right now the "standard" of top managers is "casual / outdoor" wear like The North Pole (and of course an SUV to complete it). Everybody pretends to be "cool", "young", "dynamic", "agile". With my 3-piece tailored suits (I have 9 of them) I am the rebel, the weird guy, the absolute exception. The software developers wear all "caual" or "hipster" uniform.
Not much ago I got denied entrance in a disco because of my dress. *ONLY* punk, heavy, casual or hipster were allowed.
I do not feel that I am the fashion slave here around...
@EduardoSilva If wearing suits is what makes you feel good then of course that's what you should do I think. What you wear should be your choice and no one else's I may not understand what you enjoy about it, just like you may not understand what I enjoy about wearing more casual clothing, but ultimately we don't have to as long as we feel fine in our clothes ourselves! I'm sorry if my original comment offended you, I was unaware that people who enjoy wearing business suits exist ^^"
