word
Definition
A necktie is a long, narrow piece of cloth worn around the neck and tied in a knot at the front, usually as part of formal or business clothing.
Usage & Nuances
'Necktie' is slightly more formal than 'tie,' but both mean the same thing. Most often used in professional, ceremonial, or school contexts; worn by men and sometimes women. The most common collocation is 'wear a necktie.' Do not confuse with 'bow tie,' which is a different style.
