One of protagonist Carl Fredricksen's (Ed Asner) most distinctive features throughout the film is his signature bow-tie, but if you pay attention to the soul-wrenching opening montage of his younger days with his late wife Ellie, he actually wears a regular necktie, which appears to be tied every day by her.
And of course, once Ellie passes away, Carl doesn't have anyone to tie it for him, and having never learned to do it himself, he resorts to wearing a bow-tie forever more.
