The Rebirth of Bow Ties

Bow Ties have been worn by men for many eras; the first bow tie being created and testified was during the 17th century.

The bow tie is a type of necktie which consists of a ribbon of fabric tied around the collar in a symmetrical manner such that the two opposite ends form loops.

Customarily, the tie has thought to have been the reserve of certain professions and any effort to wear one would often be supplementary with an attempt to draw attention to one’s stature, like the Gatsby for example.

Bow ties have been getting a rebirth of public appreciation lately. Gone are the days when bow ties belonged only to the attire of blue-collar geeks and doctors.

There is a growing trend by stylists for taking fashionable items from yesteryear and updating them, giving them a new look for the modern man.

The bow ties of today are much slimmer than the older styles. Men’s fashion designers are presently looking for a spur from previous generations and this can be seen with the resurgence of accessories like the pocket square and the tie bar.

If you have never worn a bow tie before, the concept of tying one may seem a little bit unnerving, but with practice you should be able to achieve this quite effortlessly and attain a seamless finish.

If you are flabbergasted by the process, there are plenty of pre-tied or clip on versions, which look very effective, but for that extra finesse, take some time and learn to tie your own.

Like any tie, color is imperative, mostly winter and cold seasons demand darker, more solid colors while spring and summer are up for the lighter and more pallid shades.

Conventionally, most ties were made from silk, but bow ties are now available in many other materials including wools, tweeds and even denim, giving them much trendy and greater versatility.

Bow ties are no longer associated with formal attire at most times due to the fact that they can now be worn with a shirt and jeans, worn without a jacket, can even be paired up with suspenders, even giving a more casual, yet fashionable look.

Other accessories can also be added to give extra chic, and they look great with braces, berets or flat hats, just make sure you match colors and designs, to achieve a very classy look.
