Tie-less in 1884.

"He had that supreme elegance of being, quite simply, what he was."

-C. Albaret describing Marcel Proust

Style, chic, presence, sex appeal: whatever you call it, you can discuss it here.

The tie-less look, 1884. Note the larger than usual wings on the collar.

Beautiful painting! But I somehow don't appreciate the depicted tie-less look even though I myself wear seldom a tie.

Indeed, there is something missing. Especially with the decorations and sash. The tie!
