The story of the neck scarves

If in ancient Egypt and ancient China, neckerchiefs were used to determine social status, then in ancient Rome, scarves were used solely for practical reasons: to prevent the armor from rubbing against exposed parts of the legionnaires' bodies. We owe the widespread use of these decorations to the French - famous trendsetters. The initiative is attributed to King Louis XIV. Supposedly, he liked the beautiful scarves decorated with tassels on the necks of Croatian warriors invited to court for their valor and victories in battles against the Turks. This time is considered the beginning of the victorious march of this accessory. The decoration underwent various changes, corresponding to fashion trends in clothing, sometimes turning into bulky bows, sometimes simplifying to butterflies. Enterprising and practical Americans went further than anyone else. Back in 1924, the American Langsdorf patented a tie that was cut on the bias from three pieces of fabric. The product turned out to be ideal - comfortable, practical and uncomplicated. The principles of cutting remain unchanged to this day. Since then, fashion legislators have had to change the traditional attribute of men's clothing in color, pattern, shape, width, length and texture of the fabric, adapting to the style of clothing and tastes of contemporaries. Having limited itself to the classic cut of the "ideal" tie, fashion is becoming more sophisticated in inventing new ways of tying tie knots.
