Solution

The correct option is C Cravat

The image above depicts Warren Hastings sporting a cravat. He was a British administrative official in India. Cravats were a popular item of clothing during the 17th century. It was a piece of fabric worn around the neck like a tucked-in shirt. British officials used to follow dress codes and wore western formal clothing. Dishdashas and thawbs are loose flowing robes traditionally worn by Arab men. The ghutra is a type of headgear, also worn by Arab men. Dishdashas, thawbs, and ghutras are now worn by men all over the middle-east.
