A Necktie (also referred to as a tie) is a long piece of cloth worn for decorative purposes around the neck or shoulders, resting under the shirt collar and knotted at the throat. Variants include the ascot tie, bow tie and the bolo tie.
The modern necktie is descended from the cravat, a long, narrow strip of cloth worn over a doublet in early 19th century England and France. This was a forerunner to the modern necktie, which is used primarily by men in formal wear, uniforms or as part of their everyday clothing.
Ties became a fashion accessory in the 1950s and were popularized by the Beatles, although they soon faded into obscurity after the hippie movement. The 1980s saw the popularity of the tie return, and many modern workplaces require a tie to be worn.
During the 1970s and early 1980s, ties were influenced by art and pop culture. They were often wide and colorful, with small geometric shapes or diagonal stripes; striped neckties are still seen frequently. Ties are made from a variety of materials, including silk.
