NPR Fashion Segment on Presidents Foregoing Neckties
NPR aired a segment discussing the "death of the tie" after Presidents Biden, Obama, and Clinton appeared at a fundraiser without neckwear. Fashion historian Kimberly Christman Campbell analyzed the choice as a move toward casualness in Democratic politics. The segment suggests that ties are increasingly reserved for only the most formal events like weddings or job interviews.
