This page is specifically for the cravat that is most associated with formal period wear. The scarflike neckwear that Americans call an ascot (but what purists would call a day cravat) is actually much more casual. It was popular from TheFifties to TheSeventies but still pops up occasionally.

A cravat is a strip of cloth wrapped and tied around the neck, sometimes embellished with lace or other decals. It's a predecessor to the necktie, and a common accessory in 17th century men's fashion.

More often than not, a character who wears a cravat will be quite a proponent of the GoodOldWays - if their not already living in YeGoodeOldeDays, that is (which they often are). Typically, they will be of BlueBlood or TheBeautifulElite. The more elaborate the cravat is, the more aristocratic (or [[UpperClassTwit pompous]]) the character wearing it will be.

A cravat is a strip of cloth wrapped and tied around the neck, sometimes embellished with lace or other decals. It's a predecessor to the necktie, and a common accessory in 17th century men's fashion.

It's also excellent shorthand to show your audience that a character is one rich, classy bastard.

More often than not, a character who wears a cravat will be quite a proponent of the GoodOldWays - if their not already living in YeGoodeOldeDays, that is (which they often are). Typically, they will be of BlueBlood or TheBeautifulElite. The more elaborate the cravat is, the more aristocratic (or [[UpperClassTwit pompous]]) the character wearing it will be.

If a character in the modern era wants to show their status, but doesn't want to look like they popped out of a time machine, they will often wear a toned down Affluent Ascot. These have the similar connotations, just with a more modern touch.

Compare WaistcoatOfStyle, which the ClassyCravat is often combined with. A part of AManOfWealthAndTaste's repertoire. May be part of AwesomeAnachronisticApparel.

[[AC: Anime and Manga]]
* Several characters in ''Anime/CodeGeass'', mostly Britannians, wear it, including Lelouch himself in his Zero costume.

[[AC: Film]]
* Film/AustinPowers and his "frilly lace cravat."

[[AC: Literature]]
* In ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', Humpty Dumpty wears an ornate wrap for which, due to his [[{{Cephalothorax}} head also being his body]], Alice is uncertain whether it is a cravat or a belt. He insists that it is a cravat, and is most concerned with its fineness, this highlighting his pomposity and also [[{{Bathos}} the absurdity of his being an anthropomorphic egg]].
* Most versions of ''Literature/TheScarletPimpernel'' have Sir Percy discourse at length about a cravat and how it should properly look to emphasize his foppishness, which is a large part of his disguise.
* In ''Literature/SorceryAndCecelia'', Oliver is obsessed with finding new and fashionable ways to tie his cravat.

[[AC: Live Action]]
* Mystery writer and radio host Simon Brimmer in the 1970s television series ''ElleryQueen'' wore an ascot in 1940s New York City. He projects an image of himself as AManOfWealthAndTaste in contrast to Ellery's absent-minded genius.
* In an episode of ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', Elliot wears one on a "Girls night out" with Carla. It's played for laughs and to show how different their backgrounds are.

* Matt Preston, celebrity chef on ''Series/MasterChef''. He even wrote a book titled ''Caravatalicious''.

[[AC: Web Comics]]
* Gilgamesh Wulfenbach of ''WebComic/GirlGenius'' sometimes wears a snazzy little cravat - When he's actually wearing a shirt, that is.
