Tag: ribbon tie

A ribbon tie is a ribbon used to tie the collar of a shirt, blouse, or other clothing top. This means that the ribbon, with or without a bow loop, is tying a collar that is cut close to the neck (i.e. not a low-cut collar); otherwise, the ribbon is just a common case of ribbons on clothes. Neckties are purpose-built to be used as ties around a neck; we can't say the same about ribbons, which have more than one use.

Please note that, if the ribbon tie is the only ribbon on the clothes, you should apply only this tag, not the ribbons on clothes tag. Also, a few things can easily be confused with ribbon ties but are different. A scarf can also be used to tie a collar, typically a low-cut collar, or can be attached in a similar way; such scarves are not ribbon ties or regular scarves, and should be tagged scarf tie instead. A ribbon tie used as a choker should not be tagged with ribbon tie; tag choker and ribbon choker instead.
