Bow tie pop art

The pop art bow tie is a bow tie with a stripe print of comic book sound effects like POW!, CRASH! and SMASH! on a white background. Small black stars are scattered among the jagged speech bubbles, and the sound effects themselves are rendered in red, yellow, green, and blue. The bow tie is designed for men and completes a costume for carnival or a comic book party.

Where do the sound effects on this bow tie come from?

The sound effects on the bow tie come from classic comic books, where sounds like POW! and CRASH! in jagged speech bubbles depict a blow or explosion. Pop art artists took that image from comics and enlarged it on canvas, using bright primary colors and black outlines. This means you can immediately recognize a pop art look by its white areas, large letters and outlined sound effects, exactly the elements featured in this print.

How to make the comic book look of the bow tie stand out

A white shirt best showcases the comic book sound effects on the bow tie, as the white background of the print continues into your collar. For a complete pop art look, wear it with a jacket or shirt featuring a similar comic book print and black sunglasses. For a more theatrical look, combine the bow tie with a black suit and top hat, so that the colors of the print are the only bright accent.
