What is the difference between a cravat and an ascot tie?

#TeachingsTuesdays

Most often, men interchangeably use ‘cravat’ for ‘an ascot tie’. That is why we’re here to define each of them!

A cravat is an umbrella term for neckwear like bowties, neckerchiefs, or neckties, including ascot ties. It has its origins in France, where Croatian mercenaries used them in the seventeenth century.

On the other hand, an ascot is a special type of necktie. Though rarely found in the United States these days, men in England still prefer these ties to accessorize their morning formal dress.

Bruce is a renowned figure when it comes to menswear journalism. Most of his quotes resonate well with fashionistas. Particularly, this quote revolves around people’s misconceptions or assumptions that clothes don’t matter.

When appearances matter in the first impression of a person, how come they cannot be taken seriously? Of course, clothes do talk to us and give us a perception of the person. So, next time you buy or wear clothing, pay attention and make wise decisions. Stay in touch with us for more inspiration!
