A tie bar (also tie slide, tie clip, or tie clasp) is a neckwear accessory that clips a tie to the fold of a shirt, preventing it from swinging and ensuring the tie hangs straight, resulting in a neat, uniform appearance.

A bolo tie (sometimes bola tie) is a type of necktie consisting of a piece of cord fastened with an ornamental bar or clasp. The bolo tie is a North American pioneer creation that dates back to between 1866 and 1886. There is a bolo tie on display at a trading post in Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico that dates back that far. The bolo tie was created in 1949 by Vic Cedarstaff in Wickenburg, Arizona and later patented.

This wide, formal tie is usually patterned, folded over, and fastened with a stickpin or tie tack. It is usually reserved for wear with morning dress for formal daytime weddings and worn with a cutaway morning coat and striped grey trousers.
