WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why the Necktie Is Making a Comeback in the Office · 9 Dec 2024 podcast

And I can remember feeling that way. matched

I mean, I used to put on a suit and tie every day when I worked in a different newsroom in Washington and I was in my 20s and I felt like a real grown up. matched

And now that I'm a little bit older, I sort of relish having the freedom to not wear the tie. matched

Some of these younger male workers, they feel like they sort of are missing that. matched

So they're just opting into the tie. matched

And the other thing, of course, I say is, look, I already look young enough. matched

I got this baby face. matched

If I put on the tie, I can look maybe a little bit more mature, project some gravitas. matched

And for the women, it was interesting to talk to them. matched

A couple I spoke to said I started by borrowing my husband's ties. matched

He wasn't wearing them. matched

I started borrowing his out of the closet to see how it would play at work. matched

And a few said, I can't prove it's the necktie, but I feel like it helps me command the room. matched

Are other age groups joining in and dusting off their ties? matched

Sure. matched

It's not exclusively Gen Z men. matched

There are certainly folks who are boomers and Gen Xers and on down who say, look, I've got this collection of ties and I sort of miss wearing them. matched

One of the things about getting back into an office is feeling like the way you dress can change your mindset, makes you feel like you're going to do something important, something professional today. matched

It doesn't have to be a tie, but for some people, that is one way that they signal to themselves that they're getting up and getting ready to have a big day. matched

They might. matched
