Wear your bow tie with decency. How do you hear it?

We often get the question: What should it be like? How do I carry my bow? What material should I buy, how big should it be and what are the best colors?

What is the best material for a bow tie?

The material of the bow tie you wear is preferably the same as the material of the lapels on your jacket, and the piping along the seam of your trousers (should you go in tuxedo). By lapels we mean the collar of the jacket that runs across the chest. So if you are in black tie with satin or silk on the lapel, then you want the bow tie to be shiny. In this case, choose a satin or silk bow tie. Are you in a suit or wearing a jacket? Don't make the bow too shiny and choose a nice fabric, wool or cotton.

What is the best size for my bow tie?

The size of the bow shouldn't be over the top, it's best to match the size with the width of your lapel. If you have a very wide lapel (see James above) then you can also go a little better with the size of your bow (James still wears it modestly). If you're wearing a jacket with a thin lapel (which you often see on tuxedos) then look at the size of your bow. And keep it small and sophisticated.

What color is my bow tie?

Color. Ah. There aren't so many rules, but as a first date you can say you want a bow tie to subtly add something to the overall look. Without you or your outfit distracting the attention of those who accompany you to your arm. But this applies to your entire appearance anyway: everything is about your arm candy (!), don't be the eye-catcher. So, that's how it is. Back to color. Tone-sur-tones (the same color bow tie as the shirt) is not something we recommend. It can easily stand out from the background. Locks are the bow is the base on which your head stands.

Untied or pre-tied?

It is best to go for the untied bow tie. After all, every person already has such a bow tie, so with a self-tie striker you can make a beautiful decoration. And show your unique character. Therefore, even the bow tie should not be tied too perfectly, the beauty lies in the small inequality or the too quickly stiffened variant. So do not be too hard on yourself. And there is nothing that you did yourself - once you had it (and it takes a while!). Think of it as shoelaces, with the YouTube films you will go a long way.
