ascot

Looped throat scarf

An ascot is a wide necktie worn looped under the chin with ends overlapping, typically secured with a pin.

Once formal daywear for men, it now appears mainly at weddings, horse races, and other dressy occasions—or as a marker of old-money affectation: He wore an ascot like some country-club villain from a movie. (Capitalized Ascot is the British racecourse.)
