The combination of an ornamental neckpiece and a shirt of the type having a collar adapted to be secured by a button disposed on one side of the collar, said button arranged to be held in a buttonhole on the other side of the collar, said neckpiece being adapted to be worn when the shirt collar is unbuttoned so that said button and buttonhole are spaced apart from one another, the ornamental neckpiece comprising:
- an ornamental non-elastic flexible member arranged to hang freely when supported from opposite ends thereof,
- a first attachment connected to one end of said flexible member and adapted to cooperate with said button to support one end of said flexible member from said one side of the collar,
- a second attachment connected to the other end of said flexible member and adapted to cooperate with said buttonhole to support the other end of said flexible member from said other side of the collar,
- said neckpiece being longer than the space between the spaced button and buttonhole when the shirt collar is worn unbuttoned, such that the flexible member, the first attachment and the second attachment act as an ornamental neckpiece for a shirt with an unbuttoned collar.
