Which ties were popular in the 1600s and 1700s?

Answer 1

During the early seventeenth century, ties were not worn. Instead a collar was common, different types included the [i]whisk[/i], a collar wired to stick out horizontally; a collar with long points known today as a [i]Van Dyke[/i]; an unstarched ruff like collar, and a retangular [i]falling band[i/] across the shoulders.

Later in that century the cravat became popular, sometimes accompanied by a falling collar.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century the stock was worn, and a small turnover collar was also fashionable.
The cravat reappeared later in the century.
