They were used to hang unsuspecting men.... no, but really, they were invented for the same reason as scarves. They used to be uste dto close the top of a shirt, and to keep men warm, but now they're just cosidered dressy.

The necktie has its jump-start into fashion 333 years prior to the new Millennium. A King, a war, an usual army with an unusual dress and a noble cause and that no less set the stage for a fashion accessory that lives on to this day. "There is a clear-cut relationship between fashion on one hand, and power and wealth on the other. Fashion generally follows power and wealth." This old adage spells out the creation of the evolution on neckwear not its origin. However, without this acceptance of tying cloth around a man's neck in the 17th century, neckties would not have had their fateful way in the world.
Neckties were an unusual thought as a fashion accessory in China in 221 B.C., the first known existence of fabric wrapping a man's neck. In the Neckwear industry this is an interestingly known fact, as a result of the excavation in China of the "Terracotta Army of the first Emperor of China" in 1970 - Among the 7000 terracotta soldiers un-earthed dressed in armor, many of which had a necktie wrapping their necks. The use of neckwear in China ended after the Han Dynasty took rule and neckwear would not be seen again in China until the 20th century. In 101 - 106 B.C. the Roman Military is seen in paintings with neckwear worn as a random uniform. Although non-Roman soldiers were probably the only to wear at "necktie" as it is common thought that the fashion rule of Rome kept necks free of cloth.

if you're talking about a necktie, it was invented to keep shirts closed before the invention of buttons.
