Ties or scarves? For the undecided there is ascot, the men’s scarf for true gentlemen.
The origins of this masculine accessory that feels like a true contemporary dandy are not yet certain.
Elegant and refined there are those who attribute the origin of the ascot tie to Eastern Europe.
The peoples of the Balkans used to wear a “hunting scarf”, an accessory that hunters used to rescue horses and riders (dabbing hemorrhages, blocking fractures, etc.).
And there are those who attribute their authorship to the high English society who wore these ties to attend the horse races at the Ascot Racecourse.
In fact, the term ascot owes its name to the English town of the same name, Ascot, famous for the famous horse race that attracts many fans, starting with Queen Elizabeth II of England.
Elegant clothing is required to attend the horse races, so men wear the elegant and refined ascot in precious silk.
