Is a tie appropriate with a polo shirt?

In a word, "No!"

In case my colleagues above were not clear, no.

Just to clarify Bob's thoughts...

No

It bears repeating- NO!

I would not wear a navy blue polo shirt with a Black Stewart Kilt.

Everything we wear is a fashion statement.

I find it ironic that so many people here go on at length that there are no tartan police, that a person can wear any tartan he choses regardless of whether he has no connection to it other than liking the groovy colors, but the wearing of a tie with a polo shirt is so vehemently condemned. I don't think I have ever done that, but can see myself doing so in the right situation. In fact, I may have become sufficiently inspired to wear one to our next kilt night here on Saturday.

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.
