The Interesting History Of Men Ties

The Egyptians were the first culture to develop neckties

, showing that this clothing item could be both mysterious and exotic. A long rectangular piece of fabric hangs over the shoulder and is wrapped about the neck. Neckties are supposedly similar to short shawls, or so the legend holds. In ancient Egyptian culture the necktie represents many things, including the wearer's place on the social hierarchy. Not the ordinary civilians, only the noble is eligible to wear it. Today's neckties had their origin from designs that were used in ancient Egypt's feudal system. It represents a clear class differentiation and is inherited through the necktie evolution.

Stories on the history of the necktie in Europe abound; the British tales are quite interesting. It is said that the first ties were created by ladies in Britain. From the food they are headache to the stains on the clothing of their husband. Clever ladies covered the collar with some fabric to avoid staining. This is important in case he needs to dab at his mouth. Moreover, for decorative purposes, several pebbles are tacked into the end of a gentleman's shirt sleeve. Sought after by men in the world, these two British treasures become the current neckties and cuff links subsequently. Different legends abound. They used to cover the scar from the battle by British soldiers or the ties were used for the wind observation by Irish fishermen during fishing; their wife or lover of Roman soldiers prayed for the peace with a neck scarf around the first century BC for example. Rumors have it that neckties were first worn during the war.

Historical information seems to indicate that neckties had their origin in France, although there are also other ideas as to their origin. In medieval times, warfare was a common occurrence in Europe. King Louis XIV in France started the war to Austria in 1688. At that time the Austrian soldiers wore a white scarf around the neck as an identity. The Croatta scarf was a favorite of the king. He made a scarf himself and wore it in the palace. He began to make a new design for the scarf, such as adding the embroidery lace and tying a butterfly knot so after a while, he was bored by the plain style of Croatta. As Louis set the example by adopting this accessory, it became all the rage at court. Once the trend to wear neckties spread to the army, many others soon began to wear them also. The king Louis then did more on the Croatta such that one army was named after Croatta. King Louis' example was largely responsible for the necktie's growth in popularity. If there was no promotion from King Louis XIV you could say there are no modern neckties. Within next hundreds of years the king had no idea how important his promotion for the modern fashion. The Croatta has been evolved into two categories in the current fashion industry: one is the necktie with the downward development and the other is the bow tie from the upward development.
