ascots

Folded neck scarves

Ascots are broad neckties with wide ends, worn looped and crossed at the throat and secured with a pin.

The style evokes old-money formality and appears at horse races and garden parties.

In American usage, an ascot often signals affectation or pretension: He wore an ascot like some wannabe aristocrat.
