There are actually three documented reasons, but we don’t actually know which one is correct. The first is the most obvious, it’s used to hang your shirt on a hook.
It doesn’t make sense because if you hang your shirt on the hook by that loop, the shirt will become wrinkled quickly. The second could be a way to help you fasten your ties easier, the last purpose is more romantic.
