Ascot scarves

The ascot scarf is a tailored silk scarf used as an accessory in place of a tie or bow tie. Every gentleman's wardrobe should include this elegant accessory—the ascot scarf.

The ascot scarf and how to wear it

An ascot scarf is an accessory tied under the collar of a dress shirt. A scarf tied around the neck is a great choice for occasions where a tie would be too formal. If the dress code is Smart Casual, you can confidently wear an ascot scarf instead of a bow tie or necktie.

However, don't confuse an ascot scarf with a plastron scarf. A plastron is a similar accessory to the ascot scarf, but it is worn over the dress shirt and fastened with a tie pin that goes through it. Plastrons are seen less often, as they are typically worn with a morning coat for wedding attire.

The ends of an ascot scarf are equally long and wide. When wearing a tie scarf, leave the top or top couple of buttons of your dress shirt open and tie the scarf around your neck in a beautifully voluminous, simple knot, inside the collar of your shirt.

The purpose of an ascot scarf is to add color to your outfit, so don't hesitate to choose a colorful silk scarf—it's meant to stand out.

Our selection of ascot scarves is made from lightweight silk, so you can easily wear an ascot even in the summer, as it feels pleasantly light and breathable around your neck. Ascot scarves are made in Italy.
