Neckwear

Neckwear is a collective term for items worn around the neck. The earliest known version of the necktie was found in the massive mausoleum of China's first emperor, Shih Huang Ti, who was buried in 210 BC. The tie as we know it was first worn by men in the 18th and 19th centuries and evolved in the late 19th century to become an essential item of menswear.
