A well-cut bow tie for men changes the entire picture, but only if it's the real thing. In the self-tie bow ties vs pre-tied bow ties debate, the authentic, hand-tied knot always wins. Its purpose is to elegantly frame the collar and draw attention to the face. Our collection is built on this principle, offering perfectly proportioned shapes for a neat, confident knot every time.

Our bow tie guide and bow tie style basics make choosing a shape simple: butterfly for balance, batwing for minimal, and diamond-point for personality. The final piece of the puzzle is the knot, and our easy-to-follow how to tie a bow tie video (below) removes all the guesswork.

Browse our collection of exquisite silks and textured fabrics, select the shape that speaks to you, and tie on a look of timeless confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a bow tie used for?

    It finishes tailored outfits by framing the collar and keeping attention near the face. Use a black silk bow for black tie, a white bow for white tie, and select tasteful colors or textures for weddings and business-casual settings.

  • What is the rule for bow ties?

    Match the formality of the event, scale the bow to your face and collar, and prefer self tie bow ties for correct style. Keep patterns restrained when the suit or shirt already has a strong texture.

  • Are bow ties for weddings?

    Yes. For black-tie weddings, wear a black bow tie. For other weddings, choose a refined silk or subtle texture that complements the suit and pocket square.

  • Can you wear a bow tie with a sweater?

    Yes. A bow pairs well with a V-neck or cardigan, keeping the collar tidy without a long tie blade.

  • Which bow tie shape should I pick for evening wear?

    Butterfly is balanced, batwing is slim and minimal, and diamond point adds subtle interest. If you need help, start with how to pull off a bow tie and the bow ties definitive guide.

  • Can I wear a wool bow tie to formal events?

    Wool bow ties excel in semi‑formal and cocktail settings. For strict black‑tie dress codes, choose one of our silk evening bow ties instead.

  • How do I pick the right bow‑tie shape for my face?

    Broad faces often benefit from the balanced proportions of a butterfly bow tie, while narrower faces suit the slim profile of a batwing. Diamond‑point shapes add visual interest and work well on most face types.
