Chinese Soldiers wore something similar to a [[w:Cravat_(early)|cravat]] wrapped around their necks as early as 200 B.C. The Romans were the first to wear knotted kerchiefs around their neck, but the modern version of the cravat originated in the 1660s. The Croatian soldiers of the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) tied cloth to keep together the collars of their shirts. French soldiers brought the look back home with them after the war, and by the 1700s neckties were widely adopted by the upper classes, marking the time when neckties became a main feature in men’s dress (French: ''la cravate'').
