A tie belt, also known as a bolo tie, is a type of necktie consisting of a cord or with decorative metal tips and a clasp or slide. Unlike traditional neckties, tie belts are not tied around the neck but rather fastened with a clasp or slide, making them easier to put on and take off.
Tie belts have been around for centuries and have been worn by people of all ages and cultures. In the United States, tie belts became popular in the 1950s and 1960s, and they remain a popular fashion accessory today. Tie belts are often worn with casual outfits, but they can also be dressed up for more formal occasions.
