did you know that the necktie has its roots in Croatia? That’s right, the cravat, as it was called then, was first worn by Croatian soldiers in the 17th century, and it has since become a staple of men’s fashion around the world. Every year on October 18th, people worldwide celebrate World Cravat Day in honor of the cravat’s Croatian origins. This day was first celebrated in 2003, and it has since become a popular holiday for tie enthusiasts. On this day, people wear their favorite ties, attend tie-themed events, and celebrate the necktie’s rich history and cultural significance. World cravat day is celebrated in Croatia and in various cities around the world, including Dublin, Tokyo, Sydney, and many others. In the fotos, The Cravat Regiment wears uniforms that are replicas of those worn by the military forces which fought during the Thirty Years' War. The changing of the guard is performed every Saturday and Sunday at noon, from April to October. Aside from weekends, the changing of the guard also takes place on special occasions such as Zagreb City Day (31 May), Cravat Day (18 October) and New Year's Day 🇭🇷
