Personally, Cam didn't know many New Years parties to be particularly black-tie affairs. Thus, he refused the idea of wearing a tie entirely. He was not a big fan of ties. That said, the one thing his room furnished him--because Christmas aside, he was still not enthusiastic about the hatches--felt as if he might as well be wearing one (http://www.benbrowderportal.com/gallery/d/1087-2/Ben-SantaMonicaInterview3.jpg).

He told himself the lack of one gave it a casual enough air to fit with a New Years party.
