The cravat tie is the twin brother to the ascot tie. As a matter of fact all neckties owe their existence to the ascot. As with the ascot, the cravat looks like a scarf or handkerchief worn around the neck. Surprisingly it has its background in the military during the European 17th century some time in the 1630s. A modern cravat bares little resemblance to its ancestry. Instead it looks like designer ties. They come in array of colors, lengths and patterns. They are striking in appearance. For men, a necktie is one of the most important pieces of his wardrobe. It has the ability to make you look sophisticated, stylish or geeky. 

So much care is usually taken when choosing one. Something as necessary as mens ties shouldn't be taken lightly when choosing one as a gift. There's the running humor of dads getting the customary tie for practically any occasion requiring a gift for him. But the problem is not with the tie itself; it's the type of tie that's purchased for them. If you're going to get one for him, choose wisely. Break the mold and look for cool ties. Get an ascot or a nice cravat.  As with the ascot, the cravat can be loosely fitted and styled and still look presentable. It can be for casual or formal wear.

The cravat can be worn with or without a collared shirt. Unlike a regular necktie, the cravat can be tucked inside the shirt mid point. Cravats can be made of cotton, silk or other man made materials. In ancient times, your rank or family status determined what style and fabric your cravat would be made of. There are sites that sell what is listed as a cravat, but it is merely a wider version of a tie. Mens ties are as varied as women's shoes. We like a wide spectrum of colors.

Though they are just as functional in casual wear, most people wear cravats for engagements such as weddings or royal galas. Cravats usually come in solid colors. Most notably white. They are made in the simplest of patterns, yet, they make a bold statement in fashion. Men and women of all walks of life have adorned cravats. They're great for weddings, proms or for Halloween costume parties.

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.
