  7. CRAVAT NECKTIE: We are more aware of neckties been knotted but with the Cravat, it is entirely a different ball game. The Cravat necktie rather than knotted, is usually pinned to the shirt. This is mostly used in the military although certain designs have been made to pass out for formal events as well as office purposes. The origin of the Cravat necktie has its title gotten from back in the England days on the race day of the Ascot Course. For those who find it hard to knot ties and do not have the time or know how, this is an option as it comes express with you just pinning to your already buttoned up sleeves.

Though overlooked by the present day world, these necktie features an everyday casual outfit more like having a muffler around your neck. It does not in any way fit for formal or office wears and should not even be considered as that would be a style and fashion blunder. Better off on a nice pair of jeans or chinos.
