What a wonderful world it would be if there were no ties to tie, and if for some reason you had to wear one, clip on ties were the trend.  Well, sorry to break it to you, but at some point you gotta to know how to tie a tie.  Funerals, weddings, graduation photos, bar mitzvahs, waiter jobs…there is a reason.
