But no, the worst look is a shiny silk tie with just a dress shirt.
I don't think it's a total faux-pas. It's just difficult to pull off. People who are slim and fit with a thinner tie, look pretty good.

Men's jackets are shaped in a way to give the body that V-shape...IE make us look less fat. However, if you are slimmer, you are less dependent on the jacket for that form.
