5 Ways To Wear An Ascot | How To Tie An Ascot Cravat | Ascot Tie

[@macaronijones1]

Great video as always!! Let’s be serious, “The Millionaire” owned that ascot like a boss! 🤑

[@hespokestyle]

Oh, yeah! Totally right!

​@@hespokestylewhy not a belt on any single outfit? 12:11

[@stephen4347]

This was very educational. My Father-in-law always wears an ascot. I bought him a pocket square and he managed to make ascot out of it lol. Great styling of the Ascot.

[@hespokestyle]

Whoa, cool! Thanks for chiming in, Rex.

[@corygiesbrecht5423]

I wear ascot everyday and my favorite pairing is with jeans, white long sleeve shirt (rolled up sleeves for more casual) and sometimes a vest. This gives me the freedom to wear vivid color ascot with floral or unique patterns! If someone accuses me of not changing my clothes I point to the ascot and say "see different color today!" Really looking forward to trying the four in hand knot, never have done that. Thanks for the great video and showcasing some amazing ideas!

[@gtobruin]

I've been rockin' the ascot for almost every formal function I've gone to for the past eight years, including my wedding. I've also worn them for an added dapper element for the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride, an annual charity motorcycle ride. It's amazing how a simple, unexpected piece elevates an outfit, and generates so many compliments.

[@hespokestyle]

Completely agree, Michael. Thanks so much for chiming in. Would love to see some of those images!

[@rickchavez5989]

I’m thinking about wearing one for my wedding too! Just what I wanted to read! As mentioned above, photos would be great!

[@joeramirez709]

I don't know of anyone who wears an ascot these days, but really appreciate the lesson. I'm tempted. Thank you.

[@hespokestyle]

Give it a try! Thanks for the comment, Joe.

[@schizo0223]

Wearing an ascot with a crew neck sweater has been my favorite style to wear casually for the past few years during the colder months. Taking cue from my wife I started wearing ascots and silk scarves (Hermes 65 cm size folds really well and you can get them in cashmere silk blends for more warmth) with crew necks. It also comes in pretty handy during the winter months in Southern California where it's warm under the sun and cold indoors (because they still blast the freakin' AC) or when the sun sets. An ascot takes less space than a scarf and I can easily have it stashed in my jacket and put it on whenever I need it. It really is a good way bring together an outfit. If my dad could pull it off...anyone can pull it off!

[@hespokestyle]

That's awesome, Joshua! With a sweater is a great way to wear it. Many thanks for the comment and enjoy your weekend.

[@DameFairy]

Just love your style, I'm wearing an ascot today even I'm a woman but I find an ascot very stylish. I love the looks of the navy jacket and the one with the sweater which is exactly unexpected but very cute! I'll try that. thank you for this great video!

[@fantasticmr.fox77]

In my favorite film, To Catch a Thief, Cary Grant wears an ascot under his sweater. Great look I may try soon. Thanks.

[@hespokestyle]

b f yes! That’s a look I would love to recreate.

[@hespokestyle]

Daksh Sharma nice! Well done.

[@colejohnsondrums]

Thats why I'm here! One of my favorite movies, and Cary is my favorite actor. Im pulling off the car ride look today with the light grey pleated pants, grey coat, open buttoned white shirt and ascot!

[@ReverendPop]

Yes!!

[@ReverendPop]

Easy: ascot of your choice. Put it on first, then whatever crew-neck you're wearing on top. Final adjustments, presto!! Cary Grant actually created that look in 1929.

[@DanielSmith-ix9vg]

Thank you! I have been on a 20 year, completely unsuccessful, one man mission to revive the Ascot. But I don't care, I love them. I appreciate the 3 ways to tie an ascot, and agree that the once over will simply have you tugging it up all day, just slips away (silk after all... New Idea you brought to me was under the crewneck sweater almost mock turtle version. Kudos. Love the content. and BTW, was interested to see all these "ascots" were what I would call neck scarves as I do have many ascots that are designed for that exact purpose, wide and usually pointed at the ends, thin, sewn in folds in the middle like the front of an old cummerbund except that portion is around the back of the neck. I have a few of the long scarves like you show. Found the ascots in London and Paris mostly, not easy to find. Keep it up!

[@jjgalletta66]

I just bought my first ascot today. I absolutely love it. Can’t believe it took me so long to start wearing one. Thanks, Brian!!!

[@davisantos3431]

I love how you keep it classic without looking outdaded and dorky. Few men can pull off an ascot this stylishly

[@hespokestyle]

Davi Santos thanks, Davi. That’s the trick! Don’t approach it as a costumey accessory. Or maybe more to the point, don’t build a costume around it. Stay true to it’s original intent and it’ll look great.

[@countalma9800]

Every outfit is a masterpiece. So much class and style without ever looking old-fashioned, pretentious and "costumish"!

[@c.w.9615]

Digging this. I might have to get one. My city dictates tee shirts, jeans and sportswear year round, so wearing anything slightly formal is unusual. I enjoy a classic aesthetic. The ascot serving as a less formal version of a neck tie seems extremely appropriate in my own mind, but ironically, I'm sure to experience more public stares if I wore one. No biggie though, it's not a bad thing if one is inclined toward style, and people take notice.

[@hespokestyle]

Yes, indeed. Really appreciate the comment.

[@JeraldMYates]

I just ordered up my very first ascot. A nice steel color paisley from Elizabetta. I have always dreamed of wearing one. ThankYou for your wisdom !

[@F_Bardamu]

You're definitely my go-to youtube channel when it comes to men's fashion and lifestyle. Always informative and sharp.

[@CaptainSpaulding]

I have seen many videos demonstrating ways of tying an Ascot. This one was better thanks to showing detailed outfits and looks. Thanks for this as I have started a Cravat/Ascot collection.

[@hespokestyle]

You're very welcome! Wanted to try and put it all in one--glad you found it useful. Exactly what we wanted!

[@RaymondAdames]

Thank you for making a video that simplifies different ways to tie an ascot. In particular, I appreciated the example which showed an ascot worn in a subdued manner resultant from choice of close-matching other garment pieces...this was an idea I had to "down-play " the look while still facilitating the elegance of the ascot. Well done !

[@bewitchedchannel]

That last style is very smart, it looks elegant but not look stuffy! Thanks for sharing!

[@andrewfarrier3690]

I found your video most helpful. I have worn a cravat all my life particularly during the colder weather. I now know how to tie it correctly. Than you.

[@Officialhelpkenet]

The last outfit was genius! I can't help but feel the association with the stereotypical rich guy when seeing and ascot and often find it to look too stuffy, but that last outfit made it look natural and elegant.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks so much for chiming in. Appreciate the comment.

[@kem6429]

In the process of looking for eye wear, after seeing those worn in the video, I've narrowed it down. Oh yeah, the lesson on ascot tying is great; they also protect the collars of your favorite shirts. God bless you for giving lesson on proper dress.

[@hespokestyle]

Happy to help!

[@neroresurrected]

I remember watching Pacino rocking the ascot in The Godfather part II, fell in love with it ever since. Such an attractive look in dress for men.

[@kennethmatthewn.tabbilos1584]

Quite a late reply but.. That;s why I'm going for that style as I attend my prom tomorrow lol.

[@eladiocofresi5202]

I'm a guy from the South Bronx who loves ascots. They provide a nice sense of distinction to one's style.

[@hespokestyle]

Agreed. Thanks for the comment, Edwin!

[@farshidrahmani6262]

Love ascots. I like all the looks, The pairing with crew neck sweater was a charming surprise. Cheers 🥂

[@hespokestyle]

Many thanks, Farshid! Appreciate the comment, as always.

[@Calboogy]

I agree, I wouldn't have given thought to pairing with a crew neck sweater...Bravo!

[@MzeeMoja1]

I’ve just discovered your channel. I heard to research ascot after many times seeing it worn but not knowing what it’s called at 43 yrs. Great demonstration. Subbed

[@uhcoogie5775]

Just returned from Italy with my first ascot. So excited to wear it this weekend to a nice dinner. 😍 Thanks for this video. Great presentation and pacing.

[@leftdesigner]

Great Video Brian, I personally love it when I have an opportunity to take out my ascot. It's just something completely different and especially younger people my age don't even know this accessory. Definitely a great conversation starter. Loved the outfits you put together 👍🏼

[@hespokestyle]

Indeed! Overlooked too often!

[@Ascotman]

I love to wear an ascot with a white dress shirt. An ascot is so elegant and distinctive.

[@gerardanthony9834]

This is terrific. Very helpful and your modeling of different styles is a big plus! You wear them all well and the color palette is right-on for your skin tone. Love the winged jacket collar. Class looks!

[@gary6514]

I love the ascot especially with a double breasted blazer or with a waistcoat. I have quite a few of them and do wear them a lot. They do have a feel of the past but that for me is a bonus not a negative. Good video and food for thought.

[@hespokestyle]

Great attitude, Gary. Thanks for chiming in.

[@throughcolouredglasses9300]

What a great, informative video. Straight to the point, easy to follow even though I've never worn an ascot before and you included some great demonstration of how to style an outfit. I really appreciate the explanation for why the matching or accent colours were chosen and what effect that has on the whole look. Thanks!

[@pedrojuliancereceda8301]

Thank you, kindly! I,ll wear my Acot (Cravat) while having afternoon tea at London next week!

[@DemetriosLevi]

I love wearing neckerchiefs but I think the ascot would be a better option...totally going to grab one or two! Fantastic outfits, but 4 and 5 we're definitely some of my favorites. Amazing as always, Brian!

[@hespokestyle]

Demetrios Levi I feel like neckerchiefs are a bit trendy at the moment. Well, I couldn’t pull it off, at least. Ascot is more my speed.

[@andrewc4601]

Timely and appreciated advice..I got my first cravat this week off eBay..a vintage bargain

[@hespokestyle]

andrew c very cool! Burberry one shown in the last look was my first. Also vintage. My wife gave it to me.

[@johanwikstrom2908]

Love the final look, did not expect it at all!

[@hespokestyle]

Sweet! If you follow on Instagram, you'd have already seen it!

[@Rudmyster]

Very sharp I love ascots, your right people think it’s a bit over the top I have a few. Thanks you For this vid.

[@liamcox9043]

When I hear ascot, I think Fred from Scooby-Doo, but that's probably because I'm too young to have ever seen one anywhere else.

[@hespokestyle]

I didn't even think of Fred!

[@raullopez4243]

Me too! I’m too young haha

[@DismalShadow]

@@hespokestyle Can it actually be worn the way Fred does, though? I like how that looks, haha.

[@ronnieriot7537]

That’s the FIRST PLACE i noticed one ☝🏽 when I was a kid, too!!! Scooby Doobie Dooooooooooooo!

[@antoinefoulard7372]

Fred actually wears a neckerchief. His orange ascot Looks just like the orange neckerchief that I wore in Boy Scouts. Ascot or neckerchief, it is incredibly sexy. I wear one all the time. And sometimes I tie and wear one of my many Boy Scout neckerchiefs as an ascot like this man is wearing.

[@brettleypellicone5106]

I love your videos. This one ESPECIALLY. I loved the tips for the best ways to ascot up! The last suggestion, the ascot with a crew neck sweater and no shirt was so cool. I'd have never even thought of that. I tried it and I LOVED IT. Thank you mate.

[@gabrielramirez2823]

Great video! I used to wear ascot back in the 90's as sport look.

[@hespokestyle]

Gabriel Ramirez time to pull it back out!

[@abraxaf]

Brilliant video. This may have given me the courage to buy my first ascot.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks!

[@laurienotaro]

Love you. I say this out of that love. Ditch the word "classy." Elegant, high-end, classic, sharp are much more eloquent. Exactly like you.

[@preciseaudioblog]

Just what I was looking for! Plain and simple. Thank you!

[@hespokestyle]

You’re very welcome

[@keith4058]

Thanks very much for a very well presented and informative video. I like your style!

[@phillip_reynolds]

I really enjoyed this video. I thought that only Freddy from “Scooby-Doo” could pull off an ascot but you proved me wrong!

[@hespokestyle]

Phillip Reynolds awesome! You’re the second to mention Fred from Scooby Doo, who I admit I completely forgot about as an ascot-wearer!

[@Blassie.P]

I love the history about the ascott that you gave...

[@MindKontrolleProject]

Interesting video I stumbled upon. The ascot in the video is subtle "not to busy". Matches the jacket "menza-menz" and creates a nice contrast with the white shirt. Classic looking... Dark jacket, white shirt and dark ascot. Layers well and does not draw too much attention to any one piece. Tough to get blacks to match well though.🍸

[@Swayze_S.L]

I never knew what this was called but always found it interesting. I just searched "puffy tie" and here I am. Lol. I feel like a cravat is really hit or miss.. But if you can pull it off, it looks amazing. Im definitely one for elegant fashion and this video sold me on the cravat. Great content!! I'm gonna order one..

[@Aaronheirofisildur]

I consider the ascot to be a Link to surpase the casualness of any outft without drowning it to any real formality. In a sense its a way of adding some dressy flarishness. As usual, great content. Also, kuddos for the article on how you proposed to Mrs Sacawa on the site, you nailed it and it was great to get to know that intimate part of your life.

[@hespokestyle]

Perfectly said, Aaron. Thanks for the kind words.

[@kioamachree8912]

Very satisfying video to watch it was inspiring and educative thankyou for sharing

Great video. I wanted to know how to wear an ascot long time ago, and this is the more detail video I have seen. Great combinations and style too!!

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks, Jose! Yes, we tried to pack a lot into this one.

[@chadwickdavis1749]

I absolutely love ascots! Just started collecting them and have 4 already

[@hespokestyle]

Very cool! They're great.

[@antoinefoulard7372]

I love to use silken Eagle Scout neckerchiefs as ascots.

[@MISTAMUSIK]

Yes this is the look I've always wanted when looking wealthy and less formal. You don't see it that much today and that's why I love it. I also love the Victorian look as well with the high color shirts and double breasted top coats or vests with a broach or ascot tie under the shirt or on the shirt..

[@pattgsm]

Brian, great video. I think I've seen maybe 2 people wear an ascot IRL about 30 yrs ago. All looks were fantastic on you but definitely out of my comfort zone. I think your Drakes scarf or similar does the trick much better for me than the ascot. The one exception was the ascot and crew neck sweater which was not only my fav but also seemed the least fussy. Looking forward to trying that look.

[@hespokestyle]

pattgsm thanks so much for the comment. It’s definitely dependent on your own comfort zone. Maybe try it at home to see how you feel before venturing out into the world?

[@georgeasimakos1744]

Daniel Day-Lewis wears some really nice ascots in Phantom Thread.

[@galloshanker1392]

Great video, Cape Town, South Africa

[@AlphaKaiju]

I have a lot of suits and ties, but I think I am going to change it up this year and go with the ascot cravat.

[@bamxuberant]

I was just saying how I want to incorporate this into my style like last week! Perfect timing! 🔥

[@bamxuberant]

Also, is there anyway to really dress an ascot down? Like something casual but still sophisticated? I feel the one that was the most casual was with the crew neck.

[@hespokestyle]

I think there are some options in the outfit portion. Denim shirt?

[@hespokestyle]

Awesome!

[@MehdiScent]

Thumbs up 👍 for great subject... very big fan of ascote tie 🔥

When I wear an ascot I get many compliments!!!

[@hespokestyle]

Of course you do!

[@Pachelbel_PaperDarts]

This is very informative video. I think that Look 3 - Classic Prep is really inspired and effortlessly elegant. For me the actor, Edward Fox in the film, The Day of the Jackal (1973) gives the most definitive look for any men who want to wear a cravat. Large polka dots cravats (there are about 5 different cravats) that he wears in this film really suit him and it makes his look incredibly memorable.

[@adrienpironet9078]

[@hespokestyle]

TIE Pilot do it! And thanks for the kind words.

[@jeffhreid]

Good video. The day ascot is definitely an underused element in menswear today. So much potential and utility in that little item. As to your outfits, good overall, a small critique is a o be aware of your button stance, there is a noticeable amount of shirt peeking out from beneath your jacket. A high rise pair of trousers or a lower button stance will solve the problem.

[@CannotThinkOfAHandleRn]

Thank you so much for this. My institute has this as a part of the uniform and this was very helpful.

Awesome video! Ascots definitely need to make more of a comeback and this video was helpful. Only piece of feedback I might give is the volume of the background music towards the middle of the video. Seemed a bit loud to me, but may also be different depending on what device youre using to watch the video.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks for the comment and feedback, Darius. It's the same as we always do. You're right, could depend on the device.

Still not really used to seeing an ascot but some brilliant looks Brian!
