I am just curious about where did originate and who invented the ever famous necktie! men and women now a days both wearing it. Around the world some 700 or so million men wear them regularly, an average man owns about 20 ties. Most man while putting on has wondered with some irritation. And some, for women they make this necktie's as a fashionable accessories to be unique. Anyway, speaking about who invented this.... I have found that somewhere in the town of Belgium, called Steenkerke, claims the honor of having "invented" the necktie. In ancient 1692,when English forces made a surprise attack to french troops, according to German newspaper the french officers had no time to dress correctly. So without ado, they just tied their uniform scarves around the neck with loose knot & pushed the ends through the buttonholes of their jacket. This was the birth of the necktie in its original forms. How creative is that huh!
Resume... and so on so fort experts point out centuries earlier , Chinese warriors wore a scarf like cloth folded around the neck, indicating their rank. From then on, there was no stopping necktie fashion, during the french revolution, a man would indicate his political inclination by the color of the "croat" or scarf, around his neck. Then in the 19th century, the elegant European society was the one who discovered this form of of attire, and entered the wardrobe of the male population at large. As i was saying awhile ago, today the famous necktie is more than accepted in many societies worldwide and in certain settings, it is even mandatory to wear it! Well, well there is always in the past that amazed us, don't it?
