100% Wool Bow Ties

Here are some tips on how to wear a bow tie with a shirt:

Choose the right collar: A bow tie looks best with a dress shirt that has a classic or spread collar. Avoid wearing a bow tie with a button-down collar as it can create a casual look.

Match the fabric: The fabric of your bow tie should match the fabric of your shirt. For example, if you’re wearing a cotton shirt, choose a cotton bow tie.

Coordinate colors: Choose a bow tie that coordinates with the color of your shirt. You can opt for a contrasting color or a complementary color. A classic black or navy bow tie is always a safe option.

Size matters: Make sure the size of your bow tie is proportionate to your body size. A larger bow tie looks great on a taller person, while a smaller bow tie looks best on a shorter person.

Tie it properly: Learn how to tie your bow tie properly. A poorly tied bow tie can ruin your whole look. Practice makes perfect!

Accessorize: Consider adding other accessories such as pocket squares, cufflinks, or a watch to complete your look.

Consider the occasion: Bow ties are typically considered more formal than neckties, so they are a great option for formal events such as weddings, black-tie events, or galas. However, they can also be worn in more casual settings, such as with a dress shirt and jeans.

Experiment with patterns: Bow ties come in a variety of patterns, such as stripes, polka dots, and plaids. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different patterns, but be sure to keep them in proportion to the pattern of your shirt.

Pay attention to proportions: The size of your bow tie should also be proportionate to the size of your face. A smaller bow tie is best for those with smaller faces, while a larger bow tie works well for those with larger faces.

Choose the right knot: There are different ways to tie a bow tie, such as the classic or the butterfly knot. Choose a knot that works best for your face shape and the style of your shirt.

Don’t forget grooming: Make sure your facial hair is well-groomed and your hair is styled appropriately for the occasion.

Be mindful of fit: Ensure that your shirt fits well and isn’t too tight around the neck, as this can cause discomfort when wearing a bow tie.

With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to rock a bow tie with any shirt and look great doing it!
