i feel i have to inform you, as a girl, that ties are attractive. if you wear a suit without a tie, you look a bit crap. if you wear a suit with a tie, that’s sexy :p

Does Pinochet also wear nice ties? Not sure what your point is.

I seem to recall from the distant 60s that a tie was “to stop your head falling off”.

No. there really is no point in a tie – however gaudy.

JS is possibly the only newsreader that truly understands that he is part of the picture.

Innovative dressing in the context of the background hasn’t been done so well since another JS in ‘The Avengers’ at it’s prime.

Now the ‘double-cuff overhang’ problem seems to have been solved, easily the best dressed man on telly!

Stripes in the socks are essential. The bright colours less so. My humble opinion anyway

Jon, nothing is wrong with your choice of ties and the bright stripy socks. I like them anyway. They put some colours in a cold studio and make me smile…
