A necktie is a type of clothing accessory worn around the neck, typically by men. It is usually made of a long piece of fabric that is tied in a knot at the front of the neck. The most common type of necktie is the ASCOT, which is a wide, V-shaped necktie that is secured with a pin or buckle. Another type of necktie is the CRAVAT, which is a narrow, rectangular necktie that is tied in a bow at the front of the neck. The NOOSE is a type of necktie that is tied in a loop and then tightened around the neck.
