There are obviously many people who wear ties who aren't faking it but don't kid yourself if you think you need to wear it to get respect or anything else, thinking that way shows a lack of confidence in my opinion.
You see this in black and white. There ARE some of us who wear suits or nicer clothes on the plane because that is all we ever wear/have. The only T-shirts I have are for when I am doing yard work or sleeping.
I wear a slightly casual (or formal depending on who you are) outfit like what I posted in the OP most days. Its either a skinny tie or ascot. Im not doing it to impress anyone, I do it because it looks good on me.
