After listening to NPR story about the demise of the necktie, I find myself thinking about my own sartorial sense. What does wearing, or not wearing a tie say about us? What does wearing or not wearing a suit say?
Does wearing less clothes make us more authentic, or are we just lying to and about ourselves in different ways? I will say that now, I intend to wear more ties. The original NPR story Lord Whimsy’s Rebuttal Lord Whimsy’s neckwear guide The Voice of Free Planet X theme was written and performed by Russell Collins of www.clockworkaudio.net

I think wearing what you want to wear, be that a tie, a kilt, a tee shirt, or perhaps a combination of the above is what makes you more \"authentic\". In certain evangelical circles not wearing a suit to church has become de rigeur. It\'s trendy to look hip in worship. Authenticity is about being true to yourself.

In relistening to this I don\'t think I was clear. I wasn\'t using the example of someone wearing casual clothes in worship as an example of authenticity. They wear it because it\'s hip not because it\'s authentic. I definitely agree that \"relaxed\" clothes are as much a costume as any other mode of dress.
