Victorian Mens Neck Tie Fashion History
During the 1840s the shirts were made of linen or cotton with low collars, occasionally turned down, and were worn with wide Cravats or neck ties.
During the1850s, men started wearing shirts with high upstanding or turnover collars and Four in Hand Neck Ties tied in a bow, or tied in a knot with the pointed ends sticking out like "wings".
In the 1860s, men started wearing wider neckties that were tied in a bow or looped into a loose knot and fastened with a stickpin.
During the 1870s, three-piece suits grew in popularity along with patterned fabrics for shirts. Neckties were the four-in-hand and, later, the Ascot Ties. A narrow ribbon tie was an alternative for tropical climates, especially in the Americas.
