The future of work and the future of neckties!

The future of work and the future of neckties!

Most historians agree that the necktie originated in the 17th century, during the 30-year war in France. King Louis XIII hired Croatian mercenaries who wore a piece of cloth around their neck as part of their uniform. 

Alas, neckties do serve a function! They were used to tie the top of their jackets. But they also had quite a decorative effect. A look that King Louis became quite fond of.

He actually liked it so much that he made these ties a mandatory accessory for Royal gatherings.

The necktie was named “La Cravate” in honor of the Croatian soldiers. 

Many men collected in the 90’s colorful ties and cufflinks for office elegance! While wearing ties declined after the last financial crisis…work from home has definitely put an end to the colorful and elegant neckties!

As ex asset manager, had to respect dress code imposed by employer - dark suit and tie etc.... Working from home via video we can still find many elegantly dressed: jacket, tie et al...Also I heard someone worked wearing a tie but down below, out of the view, only an underwear😀
