Bow tie Basic black

The Basic black bow tie is a men's bow tie that you wear under the collar of a shirt, with two wide wings around a narrow knot. The most striking feature is the sheen of the fabric: the wings catch the light and stand out sharply against a white shirt. You wear it during carnival or at a theme party where a smart men's look is part of the dress code.

• The wings flare out slightly wider and are tied together in the middle with a narrow knot.

How does a bow tie differ from a necktie?

A bow tie is a short, horizontal accent just below the chin, while a necktie hangs down as a long strip over the button fastening of the shirt. As a result, the entire shirt remains visible with a bow tie, making it the classic choice for a tuxedo or skirt suit. If you want the attention to be on your face and collar, choose the bow tie. If you prefer a long line across your chest, a necktie is a better fit.

How to build a smart outfit around the bow tie

Start with a white shirt with a closed collar, so the shiny wings stand out well. Suspenders over the shirt and dark trousers create a waiter or butler look. Throw a blazer or tuxedo jacket over it, and you instantly have a gala-ready men's look. Add a black hat or white gloves, and the suit will be recognizable from the other side of the room.

Order the Basic black bow tie and your collar will be ready for carnival or your next theme party.
