Men's Bow Ties

A men's bow tie is a timeless choice for formal and special occasions. It is primarily worn for weddings, christenings, receptions, formal dinners, and events with a specific dress code, such as black-tie occasions. At the same time, it can add an elegant finishing touch to a modern formal or smart formal outfit, giving the overall look a distinctive character. By choosing the right design, colour, and fabric, a bow tie can highlight your personal style for every important occasion.

The main difference between a self-tie and a ready-to-wear bow tie lies in the way it is worn. A self-tie bow tie is tied by hand, offering an authentic, timeless appearance and a slightly asymmetrical shape that adds character to formal outfits. In contrast, a ready-to-wear bow tie comes pre-tied and features an adjustable strap, allowing it to be worn quickly and easily. It is the ideal choice for those who want an elegant look with comfort and convenience, without needing to master the art of tying a bow tie.

A bow tie should be combined harmoniously with the shirt collar to create an elegant and balanced look. For highly formal occasions, choose a shirt with a Smoking collar, which is specifically designed to be worn with a bow tie. For classic collars, select a bow tie with proportions that suit your face shape and body type, so it complements the outfit subtly without overpowering the overall appearance.

A bow tie pairs perfectly with formal shirts for weddings, receptions, and other formal occasions. However, it can also be worn with selected casual shirts, as long as it creates a balanced smart-casual outfit. Choose solid colours or subtle patterns and avoid overly casual combinations, so that the bow tie enhances your appearance with elegance and timeless style.
