Bow ties are classy and cool. They render the old world charm to modern attire and elevate the style quotient. There are plain back classy bow ties and then there are the colorful ones – bow ties of bigger sizes and bow ties with polka dots to add a little bit of fun. Basically, bow ties are a great way to break the monotony and lethargy of one’s wardrobe.
But what looks simple may not be that simple after all. If you are buying a bow tie in the UK or any other country for that matter, bear in mind that they are a risky item and may end up making you look slightly different from your usual appearance. So, be careful of the occasion when you aren’t sure that a bow item will enhance your look. So, what are the occasions in which you can sport a bow tie to satiate your inner old world charm? Well, we have enlisted few below.
Weddings
Weddings are a great excuse to go old world and exude retro charm to its zenith to win brownie points with your fair lady. You can choose the classy black combination or go for the much wilder and fun colors. The thumb rule is: go retro and be charming.
Office Parties
Yes, you heard it right! Office parties are a great way of differentiating oneself from the crowd and let your individuality speak out loud. It is important to understand that when everyone wears ties of the same length, vigor and color, it makes the environment dull and slightly boring. So, when you cannot have fun at the expense of clothes in a formal environment, parties are a great way to break the barrier and do what you really want.
Costume Parties
Ever thought about wearing wild polka dot bow ties in a costume party to add fun to your Facebook timeline? If not, now is a good time to introspect and add a little bit of a fun element to your life. Bow ties can be an excellent way to achieve one.
Big Conference After-parties
Just got done with a big industrial conference and now you want to let loose in a semi-casual attire? Pair a bow tie and see the magic unfold. Be different and shine bright like a diamond in the sky. Who knows your personality could do what wonders?
Following trends have become sort of passé. One must always carve a niche within and try to express the inner feelings to the world without any inhibitions. Borrowing from retro is a sparkling way to go ahead in life with style and stature.
As much as bow ties look great within the wedding circle, they can look even more awesome in other social and official functions.
Editor’s Note: Tying a bow tie can be an art in itself and certainly requires skills! To help you do it right, we found a great “how to” video from Howcast.com. Enjoy!
