It is interesting that, as part of their traditional uniform, the Croats, in their own way, tied a colorful scarf around their necks. This beautiful "Croatian style" conquered the picky Parisians of Louis XIV and they adopted a new fashion item, worn “à la Croate” (in the Croatian way). The term soon became the root of the new French word "cravate".

The necktie/cravat is a decorative garment that is worn around the neck beneath a shirt collar made of silk or other material. As the original Croatian product, it spread to Europe in the 17th century through Croatian soldiers in the thirty-year war, where it became a recognizable fashion detail. The first was accepted by the French, and in their language comes with the name “cravate” and later in other European languages with similar names.
