Quick and dumb question about ties

I have noticed that some ties end with a flat end rather than at a point, I'm wondering if there's a specific word or category for this for me to add to my vocab for shopping/discussing. Couple examples provided in the pics. In the Wonky fit from today it almost looks like there's a clip creating that end, am I seeing that right?

knit tie! sometimes called sock tie it is supposed to end in a square at the bottom-no clip needed

gotcha, thanks so much. I guess the clip I see in Wonky's fit might be for the keys, or just a normal tie clip very much appreciated

knit is the most common (and imo the best) but I've seen other materials; this one is silk for example

nice, yeah I'm glad knit ties came up anyway, I'm looking because I like how they come across a bit more casual. knit ties do that in texture on top of the flat end.

It's a normal square knit tie! The clip is my keychain attached to my belt loop
