There. I have said it. It is off my chest. You may choose to disagree with this post or even to ignore this issue, but you will not be able to say that nobody ever warned you!

There is nothing wrong with purple ties. I have a pasley purple with oxford blue to be wearable with a dress shirt. As long as the tie matches the shirt, there is nothing wrong with it.

Purple is a color for girls, and gays, not for girls and guys. How much difference a single letter makes.

Who cares? The content of a man’s character has nothing to do with the color of his tie....

I not only like purple ties, I like men in purple shirts and purple sweaters.
So there

Twenty years or so ago, yellow ties were the rage. This stuff comes and goes and means nothing.

To tell the truth, I built up my tie collection when I was younger, and I haven’t bought a new tie in years, if not decades.

I feel the same way about suits with more than two buttons. Or brown shoes worn with navy or black suits. Or Hawaiian shirts that are tucked in at the waist. Or guys working out with black socks on.

Purple ties? Team colors, the team being SEIU...

Sometime in the early ‘70s, I thought I was wearing an ultra-violet suit, but I was just high.

Cool suit, though. ;^)

Back when I was in the corporate world, with a global apparel company, there were certain expectations as far as what a male employee with upward mobility would wear. A suit and tie was required. Brown shoes would have caused more of an uproar than a purple tie, unless the tie was ugly and especially if it was obviously cheap. So long as it was a nice, good quality silk tie, that was really the only area where a guy could do anything remotely unique, at all.

Had quite a collection including a few with purple in them. Looks good with a dark navy suit or a charcoal grey one. Maybe it was different because the corporate culture was oriented toward apparel? The only thing I recall being regarded as particularly gay was wearing a black turtleneck with a black suit, but the whole NYC office dressed that way, so it could have been regional bias. Or, it could have been that there were several gays on staff in the NYC office.

I don’t have any ties.

I also don’t have anything that’s purple. Hmm.

Wait a minute. My seventh chakra. That’s purple, right? Lemme check...

Yup. Purple.
