Men’s black ascots give an open-collar outfit a more considered finish without the formality of a conventional necktie. The collection includes black and charcoal silk cravats with tone-on-tone floral and micro-geometric patterns that reveal their detail at closer range.
Each ascot is handmade in Italy from pure silk, then printed, cut and sewn near Lake Como. Two broad, pointed ends are joined by a narrower centre section, providing the proportions needed for traditional ascot and day-cravat knots.
Casual ascot ties: A black day cravat can be tucked inside an open white, grey or patterned shirt. It works particularly well beneath a blazer or tailored jacket when leaving the neck bare feels too relaxed.
Formal ascot ties: Black and charcoal ascots provide a restrained option for weddings, dinners and evening occasions. Wear one outside the shirt for a traditional interpretation, or tuck it inside the collar for a quieter alternative to formal neckwear.
"Elizabetta is the only domestic supplier of day cravats made to the proper length for tying in the traditional fashion. This latest purchase is one of a growing collection of cravats I've purchased from Elizabetta"
