    People who insist on wearing a tie in hot weather. Or, perhaps, anyone who wears a tie

    The tie - the most useless item of clothing ever invented. Don't give me that tosh about 'it makes the neckline look tidy' and other such rubbish. I've yet to hear of the world coming to and end because a man's Adam's apple was on display. It's all Beau Brummel's fault.

    The tie was actually invented before shirts came with buttons and it literally 'tied' your shirt together. I agree it's obsolete now though and I look for any excuse to not wear one.

    Trainers with a suit #straightred

    I hope you never suffer with gout or a similar inflammatory condition.

    Sometimes wearing a soft shoe like a trainer or sandal is the only way people can get to work.

    I know.
    Id hope that the several people i see on the train in the morning commiting this offence dont have gout. They're about 30 years old.
    Perhaps they have a long walk and change into work shoes at the other end?
    Still a straight red.

    Not a lot of people know that. OK, I admit, was useful, now useless. You don't need an excuse not to wear one, just don't. I don't wear them to weddings, funerals, interviews or Japan. Never stopped me getting married, seeing someone buried, getting a job (I wouldn't to work for anyone who thought I couldn't do the job because I didn't wear a tie) or entering the land of the rising sun.

    Flip-flops. Inexcusable, anywhere. Ghastly sight and sound. Women should wear heels at all times.

    The shoes with the pulled up socks AND suit jacket to go with it. Didn't even look like he was on a windup either.

    This sort of get-up was quite common in Melbourne during the summer I visited 30 years ago: grown men going to the office in smart jacket, khaki shorts, long white socks and black shoes. No, no, no.

    (AddicksAddict - see my earier posting about Melbourne, above.) I saw this quite a lot in Sydney - wearing shorts to the office in Australia is perfectly acceptable but you have to wear long socks and a shirt and tie. It might be acceptable but it still looks absolutely stupid. #straightred
