It serves no function, so it must be symbolic. It's a symbolic leash that tells everyone "I am under social control".

The only function of a tie that I can think of, is to cover the shirt buttons.

A tie makes a man look profesional and educated. Put a tie on any man and he will look better.

In days of yor, ties were identifiing trademarks, as in representing your school. Harvard had it's own design as well as Yale and all the other ivy-league institutions

It's a clothing accessory. You can wear it, or go around like Monk.
