The Origin of the Ascot Tie, and How to Wear an Ascot by Peter Nisbet
The ascot tie is generally referred to as an ascot, and is a form of cravat that is traditionally worn at weddings in a pale grey shade of silk, frequently with a pattern. It is often worn with morning dress at weddings, involving traditional striped grey trousers and a cutaway morning coat with tails and a wing-collar shirt.
Its origin is the early nineteenth century cravat, formed from a heavy linen material and tied in an elaborate knot around the neck, being held in place with a stick pin, often of gold or silver. The famous dandy, Beau Brummell, was known to wear this form of neckwear,although it was generally worn as standard day wear by royalty and the upper classes, and also by the middle classes as evening wear.
With the progression of the nineteenth century, and the rise in influence of the industrial businessmen and professional occupations, the middle classes became more influential and adopted a form of neckwear similar to the cravat, but less formal. This was fashioned from silk, and even though it was a thickly woven silk, was nevertheless lighter than the traditional cravat.
It was given its name from the town of Ascot, in Berkshire, England, where it was the accepted neckwear to be worn at the horseracing meets that took place there. Keep in mind that this was during the late nineteenth century, and by the time of the early twentieth century and the Edwardian era when the royals attended the races, the ascot was not worn at Royal Ascot. By then, the standard neckwear was that used with the more traditional morning dress.
The ascot tie is known as a day cravat in Britain, although to the upper classes the cravat is something else entirely. The dress cravat is of a thicker more heavy woven material, and is more formal that either a day cravat or an ascot. The ascot is the commonly preferred neckwear of choice for traditional weddings involving morning suit and preferably Oxford shoes. Spats are also worn, but are not traditional wear.
These various forms of necktie or cravat were designed to meet the fashion requirements of their time. The progression is basically from the very formal, worn by the upper classes to the middle class businessmen, or 'nouveaux riche' to those who wore Formal Wear for special occasions such as horse races and, today, weddings. Although the ascot is still worn today other than at weddings and the like, it is generally by the upper classes and the aristocracy for daytime events only.
There are a number of ways how to tie an ascot, as there are for a regular necktie. The simple tie knot is normally used, with the ends tucked inside the shirt, whereas the more formal Ruche, resembling the well-known four-in-hand knot, is worn with its ends held in place by a stick pin outside the shirt rather than inside. This is also referred to as the cocolupa knot when used in respect of an ascot.
The simple knot can be also be worn outside the shirt, fixed with a pin, though this is less common, and it is socially more acceptable to wear either a formal cravat or the ruche, or cocolupa, in this fashion rather than an Ascot. However, when an ascot is worn for your wedding it can be worn in any way you want that will make you look good, because that is its ultimate purpose.
Grooms frequently wear a patterned vest or waistcoat, with the ascot worn beneath the shirt. Then, as previously stated, the cutaway tailed morning coat and striped trousers, followed by Oxford shoes or, less traditionally, spats. The ascot is not so much a tie as a day cravat, although it is frequently referred to as an ascot tie - but what it is called is really quite irrelevant.
The important factor is that you look good when wearing it, and what better time to look your best than when you marry the person you love. It is also likely the only day that most men wear it, but why should it be? If it makes you look good, then why not wear it more often? More men wear ascots and bow ties because more men don't. Be noticed, be conspicuous and be admired!

When you go to work, you wear a tie to show that you're neat. Most men wear a bow tie when go to a formal party, wedding etc.
I'm confuse between a bow tie and a bow in the pictures.
