tieless
Open collar style
Tieless describes someone not wearing a necktie, typically in contexts where one might be expected.
The word appears most often in descriptions of men's attire at events or workplaces with traditional dress codes: He arrived tieless at the board meeting.
As business dress has become more casual, tieless has shifted from suggesting informality or mild rebellion to simply describing a common style choice.
