neckwear

Ties and scarves

Neckwear is clothing worn around the neck—ties, scarves, cravats, bow ties, and similar accessories.

The term appears most often in retail and fashion contexts: The store's neckwear department featured silk ties.

It functions as a category word, useful when you need to refer to such items collectively rather than specifically.
