Are neckties for men on the way out?

Once necessary in the workplace and the quintessential Father's Day gift, the necktie has seen its popularity sag as many men have decided to ditch the ‘neck choker’ in favor of a more laid-back look.

Up until the 1980’s, neckties were common workplace attire.

The tie and dark suit and the black shoes, everybody had to wear the same thing back in the '70s. It was the consummate uniform for corporate America.

I reluctantly wore neckties at the office for more years than I care to remember.

Now it’s Dockers and open collars

Only 6% of men wear neckties according to a Gallup poll.
