ASCOT MASTERY, HOW TO TIE IT LIKE A GENTLEMAN. A STYLISH TUTORIAL
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Hey there, gents, in this video we dive into timeless style, the art of tying an ascot, that elegant neckwear that exudes sophistication and panache. Whether you’re attending a swanky soirée or simply want to elevate your everyday look, mastering the ascot is your ticket to sartorial excellence.
The Canvas: Your Neck
Imagine your neck as a blank canvas, waiting for a stroke of elegance. The ascot, my friend, is that brushstroke-a refined twist that sets you apart from the crowd. It’s not just a piece of fabric; it’s a statement, a nod to tradition, and a whisper of old-world charm.
The Knot: A Gentleman’s Signature
Let’s get down to business-the knot. Unlike a regular tie, the ascot doesn’t scream for attention; it murmurs with grace. Here’s how you tie it:
1 Fold & Drape: Lay the ascot around your neck, with one end slightly longer than the other. The longer end should rest just above your belt line.
2 Cross & Tuck: Cross the longer end over the shorter one, creating an X. Now tuck the longer end under the shorter one, pulling it through the loop.
3 Adjust & Fluff: Gently adjust the knot, ensuring it’s snug but not suffocating. Fluff the ends for that nonchalant flair.
The Occasions: Where to Flaunt It
• Garden Parties: Picture yourself strolling through manicured lawns, sipping champagne. Your ascot? A burst of color against your crisp white shirt.
• Vintage Weddings: When the bride wears lace, and the groom channels Cary Grant, your ascot completes the retro romance.
• Sunday Brunch: Pair it with a tweed blazer, and suddenly, you’re the protagonist in an Agatha Christie novel.
The Playlist: What to Listen To
As you tie your ascot, let the dulcet tones of Sinatra or Ella Fitzgerald serenade you. Their voices echo the elegance of bygone eras-the same elegance you’re channeling.
The Confidence: Wear It Like You Own It
Remember, gentlemen, an ascot isn’t just an accessory; it’s an attitude. Wear it with confidence, as if you’ve inherited a secret from your stylish grandfather. Stride into the room, and let heads turn.
So there you have it-the art of ascot mastery. Now go forth, tie that knot, and embrace the timeless allure. And hey, if anyone asks, just say, “Oh, this old thing? It’s my signature.”

🎩Excellent, and thank you. I always wear a Cravat and occasionally an Ascot! 👍🏾
I wore an ascot to a wedding, received lots of compliments. I was the only to wear one. Love the look. I like being different.
Love that! Thanks for sharing. If you have any questions feel free to reach out or suggest topics you would like to see on our channel.
🎩Excellent, and thank you!
Finally found a channel like this 💯🥳. Keep up the good work
Is it considered proper to wear a tie pin to hold your ascot in place, when tying it the classic way?
Ascot is no different that wearing a sign which says : _"Kindly rob and abuse me old chap"_ .
Why do you csll them an ' Ascot'? Ive always called them a cravat.
Terrific way to present the ascot. A sophisticated, gentlemanly look.
Cheers
New trends always come and go! But elegance and style always remain. The ascot simply said " Has never and will never go out of style" greetings from Germany
Thank you sir you are a true gentleman. I learned something new and I very much enjoyed the information.
Glad you enjoyed it
Ascot with a vested suit? Never saw that before. And a watch chain?
Grover Cleveland meets Hugh Hefner.
Good tutorial in tying the ascot though, so thanks.
Fantastic beard too.
Glad I discovered your channel sir

Like the way you did yours. Glad I found your channel. Going to a wedding soon. It's gonna look sharp. Much Appreciated 👏
Glad it was helpful! Have fun at the wedding.
Cool! I have 6 different Ascot cravats and until now I've always tied them in virtually 4 in hand neck tie fashion with the under length pushed up and over the knot (to give it bulk). Never seen the knot and "over" tuck way that you show. This would allow me to leave my second shirt button undone and show more of the cravat material. When I try that with the method I use it exposes too much flesh🤣
(PS this livestream channel is dead but if you go to it I'm that mad english chap in the top hat...)
I also tie my cravats similar to the 4 in hand manner, but I'm going to experiment with these two ways of tying, complete with that little tuck. I'd never considered it, so perhaps it will work for me.
Thank you so much extremely helpful.Please make more youtube content you're appreciated

Sir, I've just discovered your channel, but how can it have only 435 subscribers. It deserves far more. I have a little trick to help with my shirts. I use Slick Collar. It makes a tremendous difference and if my shirt is a little problematic, like the younger man's then, slick collar really does the trick, and makes the collar stand up nicely. Very good for wearing with a cravat. In the US there is also Perky Collar, and the owner of that thinks that he has the monopoly. I think either work just fine.
Hate to break it to ya, but the ascot simply ain't coming back.
Sorry.
Make a video on the 8 ways to tie the ascot.
Thanks for your suggestion. We Will add that to our content list.
Thanks!😄
You’re welcome.
Awesome video 👍🏾
_Spats_ aren't coming back either, dude, in case you had any ideas...ditto the _monocle_
You philistine!
To this day August 2024. I do wear my Spats. Only to Formal occasions. I receive very positive compliments always! P.S. i purchased my spats in 1983 here in Germany.
@@phydellisedmonds3819 I guarantee, you were laughed at behind your back.
The only thing that matters, is that YOU liked the spats, but they're still not coming back.
@@stephencarter7266 it does / did not matter.
I dress for me and not for other people,
I have two ascots of thicker material, not easy to tie; then, I have another ascot of lighter material which is easier to tie. Thanks for the tutorial.
That’s not the way to do it 😅
