i absolutely think that the necktie will survive for the sake of tradition. granted, traditions have changed, but as a fashion blogger myself (and a third semester library science student at cuny queens), and from talking with various media and business types around my age (mid-late twenties and thirties), it is clear that we all still hold on to some traditions in regards to business attire.

in my opinion, it will take a bit of time for the necktie to completely disappear. granted, i will admit that the death of the BOWtie has made me quite sad, although seeing one on the street gives me a sense of approval and [dare i say it] excitement.
