"'There is little that looks worse on a man than a tie that is either too long or too short.'" The long tie, combined with his silly hair style, leaves Trump open to ridicule. But do we care? NO!

What it says about Trump that his neckties are too long
By Eric Zorn, November 25, 2016

I once picked on Democratic Vice President Al Gore in a column because he claps like a child, so be assured there's nothing partisan in my attack today on Republican President-elect Donald Trump for wearing his neckties like a little boy.

When we're young and small and compelled by social circumstance to dress up, standard-issue ties are too long for us and so hang like leashes from our collars. We can't help it.

But as we get older and larger, we learn to knot our ties so the point extends right to the belt buckle — "no more, no less," as sartorial expert John T. Molloy put it in his seminal 1975 guidebook "Dress for Success."

"There is little that looks worse on a man than a tie that is either too long or too short."

Trump, however, still knots his ties so that they hang well below his belt buckle — often several inches, a fashion-don't so egregious that GQ recently used it as the subject of a photo spread titled, "The one style lesson you can actually learn from Donald Trump."

The now-defunct men's fashion magazine Details once asked about Trump, "What in the name of Macy's clearance aisle is the deal with his tie?"

Earlier this year, Business Insider's senior finance correspondent Linette Lopez referred to Trump's dangling neckwear as a "tragic mistake" and noted that "too-long ties are often used for comic effect, and unless your name is Krusty and you work at the Big Top, they are generally frowned upon in the workplace."

Surely more than one adviser has told Trump this, perhaps while gently reproving him for his '70s-game-show-host coiffure. And, just as surely, the conclusion that he is prone to ignoring sound advice is more disquieting than how he wears his ties.
