What's An Ascot Tie

 

Basically, an Ascot tie is a fancy handkerchief for the neck. It was invented in Europe during the 17th century and found its way into Italy where they took it to dizzying heights of style and sophistication. Today, they are widely worn all over the world by the likes of all men and women of royal nobility, the political arena, among celebrities and sports figures as well as entertainers and everyday styles

Ascots can be worn in a formal or casual setting. It all depends on the type of fabric its made of, which can be silk, cotton, or polyester. It's usually colorful and it takes up the bulk of the neck area. The way its tied also determines what type of setting its appropriate for.

The "neck band" can be accessorized with jewelry and pins to add extra zing to your outfit, but it does just as well as a stand alone. They come in solid and pattern print. The ascot comes from an older style neck tie called a "cravat". Though few knew what is was, the character Fred Jones of the scooby Doo cartoon series worn an orange ascot. Most probably thought it was a handkerchief wrapped around his neck, hence, the reason I called it that earlier. It's no more difficult to tie an ascot tie than any other tie. Actually it's easier.

This silk printed ascot by boxed-gifts looks smart and snazzy with my fancier clothes when I dress up for a party or even a somewhat less formal occasion. The way it puffs out makes it appear very classy and that's excellent. This ascot gives a formal and sophisticated look to a man's appearance so I wouldn't advise wearing this with a T-shirt and jeans! Whatever you decide, don't be fooled--this may not be the most popular necktie for gents, but wow, how it looks GREAT when I wear it to a holiday office party in a hotel or if I am going out to dinner in a fancy restaurant.

It's not tied exactly the same way as you would tie a regular tie; but then again it's not that different, either. You'll learn how to tie it without much difficulty.

Although this ascot comes in brown and red, the more conservative choices are blue and black; blue and black will probably go with the widest variety of outfits you could wear. Of course, you might want brown or red depending on the colors of the outfit you want to wear it with.

Give this ascot serious consideration when choosing a necktie, guys! It's very classy, not that hard to tie, and it looks extremely sophisticated without a doubt. It's an excellent alternative to a regular gentleman's tie--

I bought this about two months ago. I bought the light blue one, it is a few feet long and at first complicated to tie. But then I stopped being an idiot and go the right method. I wear it with gray and white, tucked in. The reactions are mostly mixed. At my school the more conservative guys will call it gay, almost all women will like it, and the more normal guys will appreciate the class. I wear it tucked in and I think it looks awesome. The material is pretty light, perfect for summer or spring. To be honest, the first I wore it, i was embarrassed, but don't be. You'll stand out to others and really make an impression! I am right about to buy my second as well.

I love this look, the women love it and men hate on you. If you don't mind standing out and looking good this is for you, if not stick with a tie. Great quality and gets a lot of attention.
