Personally I think it looks quite naff, at best a small step up from the "lost jacket" look. On my daily commute to work I now see businessmen of all ages wearing their full suits and spread collar white shirts without a tie. In fact its becoming a norm, if not the norm (I'd say its about 50/50 tie/no-tie).
So I know its now a well-established rule for the sartorially inclined that a tie is not to be worn with a shirt when the jacket is left at home or else you might give off bank teller/ supermarket manager vibes, but I would like to know if there is such a rule stating that men really should be wearing a tie with the suit and dress shirt. To me it seems like an obvious faux-pas, yet PutThisOn who I have taken many style cues from seems to endorse the missing tie look.
What is AAAC's take on the matter?
Please don't remind me that the proverbial 'you' can do whatever the heck you please when it comes to dress and rules.
