Literally, one of the first pieces of advice I got from my first boss was the NEVER ever wear a real tie to press assignment that had the remotest possibility of any altercation. He said in one of the riots he covered a protestor grabbed him by the tie and used him as a punching bag. He had to smash his camera into the attacker's head to get away.
For weddings and the endless "grip and grin" dinners and events a real tie is OK when I was paid to be there. I play by their rules.
I just hate that feeling of choking from a tie around my neck. If some event in the future comes up where a tie is mandatory, I will get a clip on bow tie.
On the last few cruises we were on they had "dress up" night for dinner. I wore my nice slacks and a polo shirt. I am on vacation, and that is dressed up as I will get. Lots of people wore Tuxes and the ladies wore formal gowns. Fine for them, I am not gonna play that game. I was not in jeans, I was dressed nice as I will get when I am paying big bucks to be on a cruise for my vacation.
