Tie Tuesdays at Ai
Yesterday was the third successful Tie Tuesday at Ai HQ.
What, pray tell, is Tie Tuesday?
As it sounds, it’s when this otherwise ultra-casual office dandies up for a day, and anyone who’s game sports some proper neckwear. Outfits range from tie-and-jeans to full slacks-and-shoes getups, and are worn regardless of client-facing assignments–two of us wore ties to a casual on-site client meeting yesterday.
Tie Tuesday came about naturally, after two of our developers wore ties on a whim in the same week. “Hey,” we thought, “this oughta happen more often.” But one guy wearing a tie does not a movement make, so acting on a tip from this author’s wife, Tie Tuesdays at Ai were born.
We’re doing it until Memorial Day. If you’re in the neighborhood on a Tuesday this spring, just look for the dapper dons on the Shake Shack line. (Shake Shack Tuesday–now there’s an idea….)
Last Tuesday, Mike Oristian had the novel idea of going to a Thai restaurant. Tie & Thai Tuesdays. What a concept!
