Is a tie appropriate with a polo shirt?

[gilmore]

Perhaps you should re-read the original post, the question was not can you wear a tie with a polo shirt, heck you can wear a tie with T-Shirt, however the question was is it appropriate to wear a tie with a polo shirt. My answer is a resounding Negative. You may as well ask is it appropriate to wear a tuxedo print t-shirt to Burns Night, it is not nor should it ever be.

Thanks for your concern with my literacy, but I read it correctly the first time.

I seem to remember guys wearing skinny ties, especially woven ones, with polo shirts in the '80's. And lots of big hair. Of course, that was the 1980's, a decade pilloried for it fashion excesses, not the 1880's or 1780's, decades whose fashions many here would like to emulate.
