The Necktie
    The necktie or tie is a long piece of cloth worn for decorative purposes around the neck or shoulders, resting under the shirt collar and knotted at the throat. The necktie is one of the few fashion accessories / to have survived nearly 400 years of social change. / By the 1950s, it was said that a man wasn’t fully dressed / until he had put on his tie. / The tie had later come to symbolize individuality as much as conformity. / Men and boys wear neckties as part of regular office dress or formal wear.
