Tie Month was created as an experiment in response to the casual work attire at a university. When I worked in the Information Technology department, my colleagues and I often wore casual clothes since it was expected in our field. However, many felt frustrated when others mistook them for students instead of university staff. As a result, I challenged my male coworkers to wear neckties throughout February to work. The experiment continued for five years, and it eventually became a tradition for the department.
This website was initially created to showcase participation in the Tie Month trend. Participants wore different types of ties, including novelty neckties, designer neckties, bowties, and bolo ties. As I became more interested in dressing professionally, I found it difficult to find the right clothing. I didn't want to spend time browsing in department stores or dealing with uninterested salespeople. Eventually, I turned to the internet and started curating options I would wear myself.
So, if you're interested in dressing more professionally, explore the options I've put together on the website. You may find that dressing professionally is not as uncomfortable as you thought.
