Knotted Ties

Variants include the ascot tie, bow tie, bolo tie, zipper tie, cravat, Knit Tie and clip-on tie. The modern necktie, ascot, and bow tie are descended from the cravat. Neckties are generally unseized, but may be available in a longer size. In some cultures men and boys wear neckties as part of regular office attire or formal wear. Some women wear them as well but usually not as often as men. Neckties can also be worn as part of a uniform (e.g. military, school, wait staff), whereas some choose to wear them as everyday clothing attire. Neckties are traditionally worn with the top shirt button fastened, and the tie knot resting between the collar points.
