Hi, I tried my first cravat back in the day. I didn't like the way it looked on me. Do I wear it properly?

Can't be seen properly. Get someone else to take a decent photograph.

It's seen fine. It looks just plain and dumb. I don't mean the minute details. I mean the whole style of it that can be seen from the distance.

The second button on that shirt is placed higher than usual, covering more of the cravat than you may want (I think it looks fine). I think if you were to unbutton it, it would show too much.
