The modern tie extended by Europe dates back to the time of the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648), when Croatian mercenaries from the Military Frontier Croatian French service, wearing their traditional small, knotted handkerchiefs, and aroused the interest Parisians. Due to the slight difference between the Croatian word, Hrvati, and the French word, croates, the garment called “handkerchief” ( “cravate” in French) was won.
The young King Louis XIV began wearing a lace cravat as about 1646, when he was seven, setting fashion for the French nobility. This new piece of clothing madness unleashed in Europe; both men and women wore pieces of fabric around their necks. Since its introduction by the king of France, men wore lace handkerchiefs, or spouts, which required a lot of time and effort to organize.
The International Day tie held on October 18 in Croatia and in several cities around the world, for example, in Dublin, Tubingen, Como, Tokyo, Sydney and other cities.
Between 1680 and 1710 highlights the Battle of Steenkerque, which took place in 1692. In this battle, the princes, while hurriedly dressed for battle, these handkerchiefs knotted around their necks. With the ends of the fabric together, they passed the twisted ends through a buttonhole. These ties are usually referred to as Steinkirks.

The term originally referred to a leather collar that was tied at the back, they used the military to promote holding his head high as a military bearing. This leather pieces also provided some protection to the major blood vessels of the neck of the attacks saber or bayonet.

The widths of some of these ties reached 11 cm. These large, flashy ties were common in the 1950s.
In Britain, Regimental stripes have been continuously used in tie designs since at least the 1920s in the countries of the Commonwealth, striped neckties had a tour from the left shoulder to the right side. In the countries of the Commonwealth, only persons affiliated to a regiment (or college, school or organization) must wear a tie of these features (or college, university, school, or other organization). When Brooks Brothers introduced similar striped ties in the United States in the early 20th century, it ordered the stripes roam from the right shoulder to the left side, partly to distinguish British regiment (and organization, school and university) .
The exuberance of the styles of the 1960s and early 1970s gradually gave way to more sober designs. The ties became wider, returning to her at 11 cm wide, sometimes with colors and bold designs. Traditional designs of the 1930s and 1950s reappeared, particularly Paisley patterns. Ties began to be sold along with shirts and designers slowly began to experiment with bolder colors.
In the 1980s, it became fashionable closer ties, some came to 3.8 cm, however, the most common measure was between 7.6 to 8.3 cm wide. In the 1990s, the knot of his tie was extended again, increasingly unusual designs became common. The new designs were focused on cartoon characters, commercial products, or icons of pop culture, even had some made of unusual materials such as plastic or wood. During this period, in which men were dressed in trousers to the hips, ties lengthened to 140 cm.
