I've never worn a tie to work, nor worked anywhere with any sort of dress code. Living in northern california, the whole concept seems a bit foreign to me. Bankers and doctors don't even wear ties. If you're wearing a suit and tie you're probably a used car salesman or 2nd rate real estate broker. However, I've worn suits and ties to things like new year's eve parties and art gallery openings and I felt like it helped me pick up women, if only because I looked different than the hordes of shaggy guys with their ill-fitting hipster gear. Note to dudes: if you weigh more than 150 lbs you don't look good in a tight t-shirt and skinny pants.
