Hmm - -- -- men have been wearing cloth around their necks since the 1660s though many would argue for an earlier date because any sort of scarf is handy for keeping the neck warm on a chilly day or for wiping snot off ones nose!.
But the 'modern' necktie, that broad pre sewn strip of cloth tied tight around neck dates from the 1920's!.!. see link and snippet below!.!.!.

"""A major contribution to the necktie was by an American tie manufacturer Jesse Langsdorf!. His idea was simple; three pieces of fabric cut and sewn together with the invetion of the slip stitch along the back of the tie closing the envelope!. This stitch allowed the tie to move along the closing thread while tieing knots; iliminated ironing and necktie damage from the abuse of the taking the tie on and off!. The necktie had reached it's present form in 1924 of the patented design!.

The modern necktie as we know it evolved from this form!. Shrinking in width every 15 years or so from about 1 ? inches to about 4 ? inches in accordance with shirt collar and lapel width and shape and the shape of a jacket opening!. Salvador Dali created the first recognized novelty ties taking his artwork and ilustrating ties much to the surprise of the art world!. Peter Max among others followed with unique neckties for a man to express himself!. The 80's saw the "Power Tie" and the 90's saw casual dress take it's toll!. Still neckwear remained a statement of being serious about business and of course being silly!. The silly side gave way to fun ties!. Novelty neckties illustrating themes, hobbies, Van Gogh Art work and Marilyn Monroe, etc!. by the Ralph Marlin Company became wildly popular in the 90's!. At a time when fashion was pushing all limits Gianni Versace created neckties with enough emotion, color and vivid design to stop traffic and get recognized!. And then came Rush Limbaugh with enough color and abstract patterns to cause a national phenomenon in America!.""
