Bows are pre-tied neck accessories that you wear around your neck with an elastic band, hook, or adjustable strap. You can wear them for carnival, a themed party, a gala evening, or a birthday party, and they work just as well at an outrageous party. Within the party accessories, these are the accessories that complete a neck outfit, just as a hat or wig does for the head. Women and men will find the majority of the selection here, and there are a few bow ties in light blue and light purple that are also suitable for children.
Satin, sequins or a print: what kind of bow are you looking for?
- Plain satin bows in black, white, red, and pink offer a classic look with a subtle shine.
- Sequin and glitter bows in gold, silver, red, and rainbow colors catch the light on the dance floor.
- Theme bows feature a print or shape, such as a skull print, a bat design, polka dots for a clown look, or the American and Dutch flags.
- Bows with lights flash during the party, such as the green one with flashing lights and the flashing black models.
- A single bow tie has its own closure with a metal hook and slide buckle; others are attached to an elastic band or an adjustable neck strap.
Why would someone wear a bow with a costume?
A bow refers to the formal evening wear in which the bow tie originated, and that contrast is exactly what makes it suitable for costume parties: one accessory and a plain shirt are enough to make it look like a costume. That is why you will find it used for a cowboy bow tie, a clown look, and the Bavarian version with a blue-and-white checkered pattern. The biggest difference in this selection is between satin and sequins. Satin is plain and uniform, so you choose it if the bow needs to match a smart jacket or formal wear. Sequins and glitter reflect the light and stand out under party lights, so you choose them when the bow is meant to be the eye-catching part of the outfit. Also pay attention to how it is worn: an adjustable strap can be adjusted to your neck size, while an elastic band can be pulled over your head without fastening.
Gold, glitter or pink: where do you start?
If you are looking for a warm, chic shade that pairs well with black and white, the gold bow is the logical starting point. If you mainly want the accessory to catch the light, regardless of the color, look at the glitter bow, where the sequin and glitter versions are grouped together. For a cheerful, soft color at a disco or birthday theme party, the pink bow stands out, and those who prefer a cool metallic shade will find it in the silver bow.
A bow for carnival, Halloween or a costume party
For carnival, you can combine a costume bow with a complete outfit, such as the polka-dot clown bow or a bow in the Dutch colors. Around Halloween, the black models with a skull print, the bat bow, and the Day of the Dead version pair well with a dark outfit. A party bow in gold or red also works for New Year's Eve and Christmas drinks, and on March 17th, there is a green model for St. Patrick's Day.

Frequently asked questions
What is a bow?
A bow is a small butterfly-shaped neck accessory that you wear under the collar. In this selection, they are pre-tied, so you do not have to tie anything yourself. They fasten with an elastic band, an adjustable neck strap, or a metal hook and slide buckle. You can find them in plain satin, glitter and sequin versions, and with prints such as polka dots or a skull print.
What does a bow represent?
A bow refers to the formal evening wear in which the bow tie found its place, and you can use that meaning as a nod to tradition when dressing up. With just one bow over a plain shirt, an outfit already looks like a costume. If you choose a plain satin model, the smart appearance will complement formal wear. If you choose glitter, sequins, or a print, the bow will become the eye-catching part of your costume.
