In my opinion this sentence is correct:

'He is always wearing a tie for work.'

Yes, but 'he is always wearing a tie for work' expresses our disapproval of it. We use Present Continuous with 'always' and 'never' when we talk about people and things that get on our nerves.

You're right. Hewings (Advanced Grammar in Use) says that "we _often_ use Pr. Continuous when we want to show that we are unhappy about sth." That's why I've written it's correct. Word 'often' misled me
