novelty tie

Whimsical office accessory

A novelty tie is a necktie with deliberately playful, humorous, or eye-catching designs—cartoon characters, loud patterns, holiday themes, or joke images.

Often given as gifts, novelty ties signal that the wearer doesn't take formal dress too seriously: Dad wore his dancing Santa novelty tie to the office Christmas party.
