Trust me, the tie clip is and always was fashionable. What wasn't fashionable was those 5" inch dinner bibs that guys used to wear around their necks instead of ties.
For example...

When I first started working in Chicago in the mid-90's we wore ties to work everyday. Now, I rarely wear one to work.

This is true. I was aglow for at least three weeks following mine.

Oh man - crazy ****. A lead group, at a race in China, got split off of the course, somehow. They came around the bend, saw the finish and sprinted for it. The trouble is that they were approaching from the *wrong* direction and there were racers sprinting for the finish from the correct direction, which meant some head-on, full-sprint crashes. Ouch.

A tie bar can be much more informal. I often wear mine with a loose tie, sleeves rolled up, shirt untucked...or with a floral print member's only jacket...

You think that's good? Try the Emperor Concerto (Piano Concerto #5 ). It will knock your socks off.

Gunter 6 weeks post op. He has something to say to me today about all this ridiculous bed rest I've prescribed and my instructions for a lifestyle change. Ie don't be a wild thing, little Doxie. I got an earful about that. Good thing this dog can't type or I'd hear about it on yelp, I'm sure.
PS I was double booked at 11am- Gunter the 10 pound Doxie and Wally the 200 pound Great Dane. A study in contrasts.

Collar, tie and suit were de-rigeur when I was a journalist and editor, but those days a long gone... although I do have the occasional dream about becoming a suit of some sort again.
I've lost around 22kg over the past several years, and I had to buy a new suit recently because the old one looked like a potato sack on me. No suspenders needed; just a belt.

I wear hi-viz work wear every work day, so getting dressed up is still something I like to do, a la this recently to go to the theatre:
