In some parts of the US a bolo tie would fit the bill. Also maybe that thing some wear with a tux it's like a carbouchon stone that fits over the top button.
Perhaps that little bit too elegant?Tomasso said:Simple, yet elegant.

Drew B said:widebrim, you're right a tie is, for the most part, a necessity but sometimes, especially in summer you need a bit of breeze on the chest.

Depending on where you live, how old you are, how you feel about having to defend yourself against thugs who just don't like the way you look, etc. etc. I don't think the dandy route is the way to go. It worked for Astaire but I doubt he travelled in some of the circles some of us do.

Actually, I find that a tie makes me much hotter than a jacket. It must have something to do with how ventilation occurs. [huh]
Hey, we're talking style here, not politics. The best dressed army in the world were the Nazi's, regardless of their monstrosity. Besides, I didn't say that everyone who wore a jacket without a tie was one of the best dressed. I said the best dressed have worn a jacket without a tie. Rather a large and important difference.

Classic.
Note the safety pin on FA's shirt placket.
Then how about Coop?Fletch said:Perhaps that little bit too elegant?
In my mind, emulating Fred is a risky business.
Actually, that style pin is worn as both a collar pin and a tie tack; But when worn as neither, it becomes a safety pin. [huh]chanteuseCarey said:Its a collar pin I believe, NOT a safety pin!
