Claim:
A necktie holder for attachment to a shirt under a shirt button, the shirt button being attached to the shirt by a threading having a width, the necktie holder comprising: a flexible body having a tie slot sized for the placement of a tie therein wherein the tie slot resides in a first plane; a channel defined in the flexible body and extending to an interior mouth, wherein the interior mouth resides in a second plane which is different than the first plane, when the necktie holder is attached to the shirt; and first and second shoulders opposedly positioned within the channel to define a constriction proximate the interior mouth, the constriction being smaller than the width of the threading whereby the button can be manually urged beyond the first and second shoulders while causing the constriction to resiliently flex the flexible body to momentarily permit passage of the shirt button into the interior mouth, wherein the first and second planes intersect at a hinge line that defines an acute angle therebetween.
