Royal Ascot: An annual British horse-racing meeting held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. The tie takes its name from this event and its formal dress traditions.
Formal wear: Clothing intended for ceremonies, formal social occasions, or specified dress codes. The Ascot belongs chiefly to formal rather than everyday neckwear.
