Ascot Ties Q&A
What is the difference between an ascot and a cravat?
The difference between an ascot and a cravat is largely regional terminology, as "cravat" is the British term while "ascot" is more commonly used in America for the same formal neckwear. Technically, an ascot is a specific type of cravat named after England's Royal Ascot horse race, featuring a wider cut that creates more fullness when tied.
How do you tie an ascot step by step?
Tying an ascot involves draping it around your neck with one end slightly longer, crossing the longer end over the shorter one, bringing it up through the loop at your neck, then folding it down and securing with a tie tack or pin if desired. The final step is adjusting the width and fullness of the ascot to ensure it sits comfortably while creating an elegant drape beneath your collar. More traditionally, an ascot would be worn outside the shirt collar, and tucked into the waistcoat. For more information, visit our step-by-step tutorial on how to tie an ascot.
How do you fold and tie an ascot?
To fold and tie an ascot, start by folding it in half lengthwise if it's particularly wide, then drape it around your neck with one end hanging about 4 inches longer than the other. Cross the longer end over the shorter one, bring it up through the neck loop, then fold it down over the front and adjust it to create a full, elegant appearance.
