The same care and attention are necessary to the back as to the front of the Cravat.
Although coloured Cravats are made of more costly materials than those which are entirely plain, it is most clearly laid down, as a rule in the laws of taste, that they can be admitted only as undress costume.
The white Cravat, with spots or squares, is received as half-dress; but the plain white alone is allowed at balls or soirées.
The black Stock, or Cravat, is only suited to military men, not on service, who are dressed in plain clothes. As to coloured Cravats, they are entirely prohibited in evening parties.
