A cravat was a form of clothing worn around the neck.

The First Doctor's ensemble regularly featured a cravat. From the his kidnap of Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright to the end of his life, he wore a dark silk cravat, (TV: An Unearthly Child - The Tenth Planet) briefly swapping it for a gingham one at the start of his travels with Vicki Pallister. (TV: The Rescue, The Web Planet)

The Third Doctor wore a number of cravats throughout his life. Immediately following his regeneration, he adopted a silky black cravat, which he wore for a notable period. (TV: Spearhead from Space - Inferno) He then became sporadic in his adoption of cravats, wearing his original whilst combatting the Sea Devils (TV: The Sea Devils) and during his visit inside a miniscope, (TV: Carnival of Monsters) and adopting new patterned ones on a number of occasions. (TV: The Dæmons, The Mutants, Carnival of Monsters)

The Fourth Doctor wore cravats for a period, initially adopting ones terracotta and blue in colour, (TV: Planet of Evil, Pyramids of Mars) before settling on a dark red one. (TV: The Android Invasion - The Robots of Death)

The Sixth Doctor wore a wide variety of cravats, them being a mainstay of his outfit. His first cravat was turquoise with a polka dot pattern, (TV: The Twin Dilemma) which he eventually replaced with a similar cravat in red. (TV: The Mysterious Planet) During his travels with Evelyn Smythe, he briefly returned to wearing a turquoise cravat, this time without polka dots, (WC: Real Time) but soon returned to wearing cravats with such a pattern. After briefly wearing yet another polka dot cravat, this time in purple, (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel) he adopted a yellow cravat with a starfield design. (TV: Terror of the Vervoids) By the time of his regeneration, he had returned to wearing his red cravat. (TV: Time and the Rani)
