Clip-on Tie
A clip-on tie is a bow tie or necktie which is permanently tied, and worn by attaching it to the front of the shirt collar by a clip. Alternately, especially in the case of bow ties, the tie may have a band around the neck fastened with a hook and eye. Reasons for use The following are some reasons that this style of tie may be used: * Tightly tied standard neckties may be a source of irritation and discomfort. * Some people, particularly children, do not know how to tie a standard necktie, or do not feel comfortable tying one. * Some persons with disabilities may be physically incapable of tying a tie, or only capable of it with extreme difficulty. * Police officers and security guards often wear clip-ons as a precaution against being strangled by a pulled necktie.

Bow Tie
The bow tie or dicky bow is a type of neckwear, distinguishable from a necktie because it does not drape down the shirt placket, but is tied just underneath a winged collar. A modern bow tie is tied using a common shoelace knot, which is also called the bow knot for that reason. It consists of a ribbon of fabric tied around the collar (clothing), collar of a shirt in a symmetrical manner so that the two opposite ends form loops. There are generally three types of bow ties: the pre-tied, the clip-on, and the self-tie. Pre-tied bow ties are ties in which the distinctive bow is sewn onto a band that goes around the neck and clips to secure. Some "clip-ons" dispense with the band altogether, instead clipping straight to the collar. The traditional bow tie, consisting of a strip of cloth that the wearer has to tie by hand, is also known as a "self-tie", "tie-it-yourself", or "freestyle" bow tie. Bow ties may be made of any fabric material, but most are made from silk, polyester, co ...

Necktie
A necktie, long tie, or simply a tie, is a cloth article of formal neckwear or office attire worn for decorative or symbolic purposes, resting under a folded shirt collar or knotted at the throat, and usually draped down the chest. On rare occasions neckties are worn above a winged shirt collar. However, in occupations where manual labor is involved, the end of the necktie is often tucked into the button line front placket of a dress shirt, such as the dress uniform of the United States Marine Corps. Neckties are usually paired with suit jackets or sport coats, but have often been seen with other articles, such as v-neck sweaters. Neckties are reported by fashion historians to be descended from the regency era cravat. Adult neckties are generally unsized in length but may be available in a longer sizes for taller persons. Widths are matched to the width of a suit jacket lapel. Neckties were originally considered " menswear," but are now considered unisex items in most We ...

Security Guard
A security guard (also known as a security inspector, security officer, factory guard, or protective agent) is a person employed by a government or private party to protect the employing party's assets (property, people, equipment, money, etc.) from a variety of hazards (such as crime, waste, damages, unsafe worker behavior, etc.) by enforcing preventative measures.

Tie Clip
A tie clip (also tie slide, tie bar, or tie clasp) is a clothing fashion accessory, accessory that is used to clip a necktie, tie to the underlying shirt front, preventing it from swinging and ensuring that the tie hangs straight, resulting in a neat, uniform appearance. The use of tie clips gained prominence during the 1920s, during which period the use of straight ties made of delicate materials such as silk became more fashionable, and they largely came to replace the more traditional tie pin. Tie clips are commonly made of metal and often have decorative patterns or embellishments. Some clips have a small badge indicating membership to a club or some other affiliation, or some other commemorative token, in a similar manner to the way in which ties themselves may be used as signs of membership. In the United States, a tie clip is one of the few items of jewelry allowed to be worn by servicemen and women. See also *Clip-on tie *Collar pin *Tie chain *Tie pin Reference ...
