clip-on tie

no-tying neck accessory

A clip-on tie is a necktie that attaches to a shirt collar with a clip rather than being tied around the neck.

Clip-ons are associated with children, service workers in uniforms, and anyone who can't or won't learn to tie a proper knot.

They're sometimes worn for safety—a clip-on releases if grabbed, unlike a knotted tie that could choke the wearer.
