This character's formal attire seems a bit... morbid. Basically in place of a necktie they're sporting a length of rope that's been tied off in the manner of a hangman's knot. This seems to pop up mostly (but not always) when a character is undead, as if to suggest that their death was due to Hanging Around. If not explicitly undead, characters with this feature will still often have a "spooky" Halloween air about them. A more lighthearted take on this trope is to compare a necktie to a noose to indicate that any job which requires formal attire is a Fate Worse than Death.
There may be some Lampshade Hanging about the logistics of wearing an article around one's neck that can be so easily pulled tighter. If not careful, this trope might well overlap with Killer Outfit.

Watchmen: Hooded Justice wears a noose, probably because he's intentionally trying to be a more intimidating kind of costumed hero. Paired with his face-concealing hood, it also evokes his pro-KKK sympathies.

Scarecrow in the Batman: Arkham Series. After being nearly killed in the first game, he returns in Knight, where the noose seems to be tied into the system of orogastric tubes that are keeping him alive (and to complete the effect he's got a hooded jacket that resembles a bodybag).

Injustice: Gods Among Us: The zombie Solomon Grundy wears one. It's signifies that he's gone through death multiple times, along with some other subtle clues like the dozen knives in his back.
And come Injustice 2 Scarecrow's wearing his classic one.

The Dresden Files: Nicodemus Archleone wears the actual noose Judas Iscariot hanged himself with as a bolo tie. In addition to playing up his "Biblical evil" motif, it renders him effectively invulnerable to physical harm. However, Harry figures out that Nicodemus is not immune to being strangled with the noose itself.

While not exactly a noose, Dean Domino, featured in Fallout: New Vegas's Dead Money DLC often refers to the explosive bomb collars that he, the player, and the other two companions in that DLC wear (or have swallowed- It Makes Sense in Context) as "neckties". Given how ridiculously easy it is to accidentally trigger them on the speakers hidden in the villa, especially when the player is focused on dodging the Ghost People and the Cloud, it might as well be a noose.

Invoked again by Scarecrow in the game Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu, based on the continuity of Batman: The Animated Series. This ends up being deconstructed, however, as after Batman beats him it gets snagged on a statue and nearly chokes him to death before Batman can cut him down again.

Over the Edge. The island of Al-Amarja is a very odd place, with a population that includes wizards, psychics, spies, criminals, conspiratorial groups, aliens, mad scientists, angels and mutants. Many native Al-Amarjans wear a noose around their necks as a fashion statement and a reference to their bizarre and dangerous lifestyle.

League of Legends has Fiddlesticks, an impossibly ancient scarecrow-shaped fear demon, who wears one of these, likely to evoke one of its hypothesized backstories that it Was Once a Man executed by an angry mob before it became a demon. Having gone through a few different designs over the years, it actually started off with a less conspicuous string with a mysterious key around its neck before it disappeared and was replaced by the noose, though its design since 2020 has given it both.
