Is "for"attribute necessary in HTML label?

I've noticed that a HTML label tag doesn't need the 'for' attribute when you put your input element into the label element:

<label><input type="text">Last name</label>

But I was wondering what's the best practise. Can anybody help me with that?

Thanks!
