A '''tie '''is an article of clothing commonly associated with men's apparel on the planet [[Earth]]. It is also favored by [[the Doctor]] in most of his incarnations. A tie consists of a piece of cloth (most commonly silk, but commonly also polyester, wool, cotton, or other fabrics) wrapped around the collar of the wearer's shirt and often folded under it. A '''bow tie''' is, as the name would suggest, tied in a bow, whereas a '''four-in-hand tie''' is longer and straighter, and tied either in the eponymous four-in-hand knot or another alternative, such as the Windsor, of half-Windsor knot. A '''cravat '''is usually not so much tied as folded, and worn under a vest with more formal attire. Ties can be worm for their style value, but can also signal levels of formality, or association with schools, companies, or other groups.
