An ascot tie or ascot is a neckband with wide pointed wings, traditionally made of pale

morning coat and striped grey formal trousers. This type of dress cravat is made of a thicker, woven type of silk similar to a modern tie and is traditionally either grey or black.[citation needed] A more casual form of ascot is in British English
called a cravat, or sometimes as a day cravat to distinguish it from the formal ascot or dress cravat. The casual form is made from a thinner woven silk that is more comfortable when worn against the skin, often with ornate and colourful printed patterns.

History

The ascot is descended from the

Royal Ascot races by the Edwardian era. The ascot was still commonly worn for business with morning dress
in the late 19th and very early 20th centuries.
