Ties that Don't Bind



March 11, 2019

Now that companies no longer mandate that women wear high heels in the workplace, I was all set to make a case for men not having to wear neckties, as they were reported to be health hazards as well. Hazards cited included increased risk of stroke and glaucoma. It seemed like a no-brainer to not make men wear items that could seriously impair their health.

But follow-up studies have not borne out the stroke and glaucoma claims. Tying a tie too tightly (sounds like the start of a tongue-twister) can cause neck and shoulder pain, though, so keep ’em loose, guys.
