Bows and bow ties for an irresistible 007 look
The little accessory that turns a man into a real James Bond! Whether short or tall, slim or stout – a bow tie simply suits everyone. Every man should own a bow tie, even if he only gets to wear it on rare occasions. As a rule, bow ties are only worn for a festive occasion, together with a fine shirt and an elegant suit. Whether at the opera, at your best friend's wedding or at other very special celebrations: A dress shirt and tuxedo are a must for any man who takes pride in his appearance. But the look only becomes truly elegant when it is completed with a bow tie.
Suit bow tie or necktie?
These elegant accessories, which are also known as bows and butterfly ties have a long tradition in men's clothing. They are older than the necktie and were already worn by men with shirts in the 19th century. Today, ties have overtaken bow ties - at least when it comes to everyday clothing. For formal wear, however, bow ties are still indispensable and should therefore not be missing from any wardrobe. Men who love something special swear by them as an elegant accessory with style. No question about it: even today, bow ties are the epitome of masculine elegance.
When choosing a bow tie, however, you should be much more careful than when choosing a necktie. Because the bow tie is more of a focal point in an outfit and should therefore only be worn with understated garments. In addition, bow ties are mainly worn for formal occasions, while a necktie can also be worn well in everyday life. The suit also often determines whether a necktie or a bow tie should be worn. A bow tie is mandatory with a tuxedo or tailcoat. But with a single-breasted jacket with two or three buttons, it is better to wear a necktie.
Tying a suit bow tie: easier than you think
Unfortunately, many men shy away from wearing a bow tie because they fear the complicated process of tying it. That is a shame, as many of them would certainly like to treat themselves to the luxury of bows. But putting on a bow tie does not have to be complicated at all. On the contrary: some bow ties are even easier to put on than an ordinary necktie! How is that possible? Many bow ties are already pre-tied. This makes putting on these attractive accessories child's play. And the result is impressive. Because the accessories are made from such luxurious materials as fine silk and go with every shirt and every suit.
Even if you have to tie a bow tie yourself, it is
child's play. With a little practice, you will manage it quickly. The best way is to simply place the bow tie around your thigh and tie it like a shoelace. Does it look good? Then now place the bow tie around your neck and tie it again, only this time in the mirror-image version. Self-tied bow ties exude real class and are for true fashion connoisseurs.
A large selection of elegant, classic colors also lets everyone find the bow they want. Whether it should be red or blue, black or white – there is something here for everyone. And if the bow tie is then worn with an elegant tuxedo shirt with a wing collar, the sophisticated appearance is perfect. This way, every man can become a modern gentleman and shine in a refined outfit. Quite simply a very special accessory for very special men.
Suit / tuxedo and bow tie: what works and what doesn't
- A suit with a bow tie and suspenders – always a good combination. With a tailcoat or tuxedo, suspenders are even absolutely necessary, as the trousers cannot be worn with a belt. In terms of color, the suspenders should be coordinated with the bow tie; it is best to choose solid-colored suspenders. By the way, white suspenders are only combined with a tailcoat.
- Bow ties look best with brown, black or gray suits.
- Hands off striped suits – the combination with a bow tie looks too bold. Exception – the stripes are very fine and do not "interfere" with the bow tie.
- A standard tuxedo look can easily be livened up by wearing a white or a red bow tie with it.
- Always be sparing with additional accessories, because the bow tie itself is the focal point of the look.
Which collar should a man wear with a bow tie?
Color and design are not the only decisive factors when looking for the perfect bow tie. Also the right shirt collar plays a major role. Do you need an elegant look or do you want to combine your bow tie with a sporty-casual outfit? The best combination can be found by simply trying the bow tie with different shirts. As a rule of thumb, however, the following applies: Kent collar, New Kent collar or wing collar go best with a bow tie.
A Kent collar is the elegant classic that can be combined in many ways and is always the right choice. If you prefer a mix of the classic Kent collar and a modern cutaway collar, the best option is a shirt with a New Kent collar. If it is for a tuxedo or tailcoat, a shirt with a wing collar is certainly a good choice.
