What is an "ascot"?
An ascot is a type of necktie that is typically worn with formal or semi-formal attire. Unlike a traditional necktie, which is tied in a knot, an ascot is worn with a formal shirt and a decorative pin or clip to hold it in place. The ascot is made from silk or a similar fabric, and it is wider and shorter than a traditional necktie. It has a more formal and elegant appearance, and it is often associated with high society and aristocratic dress. The ascot can be worn with a variety of formal outfits, including morning dress and business attire, and it is particularly popular for weddings and other formal occasions.
