There have been many opinions about the origin of the tie.
The "tie protection theory" believes that the predecessor of the tie was the grass rope of the Germanic people. The Germanic people lived in the deep mountains and old forests, and usually wore animal skins to keep warm and cold, in order to prevent the wind from blowing in from the neck, they tied grass ropes around their necks to fix the animal skins, and later the grass ropes around their necks were discovered by Westerners and gradually perfected into ties.
The "war theory" believes that the tie originated in the era of the Roman Empire. When soldiers go to the front to fight, their families will tie a square scarf around their neck, which can be used to bandage and stop bleeding in war. The ancient terracotta warriors of the mainland also had similar scarves around their necks.
Later, in order to distinguish between soldier ranks or different combat units, scarves of different colors began to be used. Today, the diversity of occupations has also given rise to different styles of ties, and many people choose to use ties to highlight the social division of labor and professionalism.
In addition, during the battle, these scarves were also used as a cloth to wipe the combat knife. It is reported that the reason why most modern ties use striped patterns is evolved from the blood stains on the combat knife.
In addition to various practical functions, ties were also sought after by high society as a decoration. This is closely related to Croatia, from which the French "cravate" for tie is derived.
In 1668, Croatian mercenaries were paraded in Paris, and the cavalry were dressed in mighty uniforms with bright and beautiful cloth bands on their collars. The fashionable aristocratic children of Paris followed suit, and Louis XIV also praised this combination, and ordered the upper class to dress in this way, which became fashionable in the French aristocracy.
It was not until the 18th century that the French bourgeois revolution announced the end of the life of the court aristocracy. Men's clothing evolved into tuxedo-style dresses, with gorgeous shirt collars missing and simple black ties synonymous with elegance. The tying of ties also began to appear during this period, with the first book on tie knots in 1818.
With the development of modern standard suits, ties became fashionable as an indispensable decoration for suit matching. At that time, the tie knot worn by the Duke of Windsor was all the rage and was a symbol of the artist at the end of the 19th century.
Ties are also the quintessence of academic style, and in the world-loved movie "Harry Potter", students from different houses at Hogwarts wear different styles of ties.
This tradition dates back to 1880. At that time, a rowing team member from Oxford University in England took off a cloth belt from his hat and tied it around his neck, which inspired the club. Later, the rowing club purchased a tie that could be worn with a hat, and the characteristic stripe design on the tie became the exclusive logo of Oxford University. Since then, many universities have designed their own exclusive ties.
The last change in ties was in the 1920s, when Jesse Langsdorf from New York revolutionized the cutting technique of tie fabric, so that ties no longer left wrinkles that were difficult to heal due to knots, which led to a series of new ways of tying ties that have been influenced to this day.
As the concept of fashion took root, ties as an accessory also entered the field of women's clothing. Fashionistas are committed to exploring ways to wear a variety of styles with a small tie.
