Richard Thompson Ford (Professor of Law and Art Critic at Stanford) around 1980, then a young man, was invited to the 21 Club restaurant for dinner. He was wearing a three-piece black velvet suit and a butterfly shirt at the collar. As he entered the bar, he was stopped by the restaurant employee. Where was the tie? After a long discussion, they gave him a collar decorated with horses, which he had to wear like that over his butterfly shirt all evening in the restaurant. Richard Thompson called Ford "the tie of shame."

Kush i mban mend pantallonat si parashutë najloni, bikini mbi streçe të zeza, veshjet “punk” që nuk ishin gjë tjetër veçse disa copa të grisura e të bashkuara me paramanda? Flokët me valë e me shkallëzim, grimi me qerpikë të bërë me laps rreth 1990-tës e xhinset e gjera që ekspozonin të mbathurat. Ishin trend, edhe pse sot nëse i provon prapë dukesh qesharak.

Në 2009-tën revista Esquire bëri konkursin e mashkullit të veshur më mirë. Pjesmarrësit duhet të kishin veshur kostum me tre pjesë, kravatë ose papjon. Fituesi do zgjidhej ai që kishte kostumin e qepur më mirë, sidomos kombinimi fitonte pikë, por duhet të thoje pse kishe veshur atë që kishe veshur. Pse? Sepse ashtu ishte kodi i veshjes. Ja pse kushdo që u përgjigj kështu, nuk fitoi.
