bowtie
Tuxedo neck accessory
A bowtie is a necktie that fastens in a bow at the collar rather than hanging down the chest.
Bowties suggest formality (black-tie dress code) or a certain professorial eccentricity.
In other contexts, bowtie describes the shape—a bowtie pasta, a bowtie antenna.
Also spelled bow tie.
