Necktie And The Good Provider Look: Using It As A Scarf Rather Than Strangling Rope

[Amazoniac]

If you wear neckties voluntarily, they have been reducing in size until eventually disappearing, you have to accept that in some years from now you'll look almost as silly as if you were using one of those powdered wigs believing that it's cool (the initial reasons were bizarre, search for it). Scarves have the same fate, being replaced by turtlenecks [and chains when needed (Island, 2011)] to make up for the also disappearing beard (hamster and East Asia, 2018) since these don't turn you into a walking christmas tree. In the meantime, whether you want or have to use, avoid suffocation to be on the safe side.

"The necktie is an icon of male professionalism and has been worn by male physicians for over 100 years. Other clothing, such as the white coat, has been the most recognized symbol representing power and purity since the 19th century, when Lister was developing his concept of aseptic surgery.[24] In essence, dress codes play an important role in nurturing the patient–physician relationship and instilling confidence in patients that they are receiving the highest-quality care. Rehman and colleagues[25] found that 76.3% of patients preferred their physician to be clothed in professional attire, i.e., shirt, necktie and white coat for male physicians, and tailored trouser or skirt with white coat for female physicians. Respondents’ trust, confidence and willingness to share personal information were greater for a physician in professional attire. Hence, recommendations against the wearing of a necktie are not without consequences."​

These are controversial, but it's possible to occur, add unnecessary stress and it may be overlooked, perhaps due to the induced sensorial loss already present.
