- History of Bow Ties By:-The Bow Tie Lady
A bow tie is classic neckwear that is commonly worn with a tuxedo. The history of bow tie can be traced back to the Croatian mercenaries in the seventeenth century. During that time, the Croatian used to tie a scarf around their necks to hold the opening of their shirts. The French aristocrats later adopted the practice. It was a widespread practice during the 18th and 19th centuries. Later, the cravat was improvised which leads to the invention of bow tie.
