Abstract
In some implementations, a necktie retainer apparatus may include magnetically couplable first and second pieces. The first piece may include a slot with an opening that allows the first piece to be positioned over a button such that the button threads extend through the slot. The second piece may be positioned through a tie loop of a necktie, such that when the second piece is magnetically coupled with the first piece, the necktie is restrained to the article of clothing to which the button is fastened via the tie loop. In some embodiments, magnets may be placed at one or both ends of either or both the first and second pieces, allowing room for the button and tie loop to fit between the pieces after being magnetically coupled.
