The purpose of a tie is to cover the buttons of a man's shirt, because if the buttons were visible, women might think about how they are used - to unbutton the shirt, and that could cause people to think about naked chests, and we simply cannot have that.
When toplessness in men started to happen, it was very controversial. Old bathing suits had tops for men as well. This absolutely is cultural.
