How to tie the perfect bow tie?

While most men prefer the convenience of a pre-tied bow tie, self-tying is surprisingly easy. If you can tie your shoelaces, you can do this too. The trick? Start with a flat knot on your thigh. Then fold one side, lay the other over it, and pull it through the loop. A little adjustment for the loops to hang evenly, and you're done. Each self-tie bow tie comes with a clear manual with images.

Which colour bow tie suits a suit?

The colour of your bow tie depends on the occasion, the colour of your suit, and the desired look. Generally, you can follow these guidelines:

• Black suit For a classic style, opt for a black bow tie. This is the standard for a black tie dress code. A dark blue or burgundy bow tie is an excellent choice for subtle variation. For a tailcoat, only wear a white bow tie.
• Dark blue or grey suit A burgundy, deep green, or dark grey bow tie is perfect for a chic, warm look. Black is a safe, classic choice. In summer months, light grey and pastel shades are also very stylish.
• Light suit (beige, sand, light grey) Pastel colours like light blue, soft pink, and mint green are ideal for a fresh, summery appearance. Dark brown and taupe are good options to keep it understated. For garden parties and summer weddings, linen or knitted fabric bow ties are highly recommended.

How to pair a bow tie with a pocket square?

A pocket square is the finishing touch to your outfit. Yet, many men find pairing it with a bow tie challenging. The key style tip: avoid an exact match between the pocket square and the bow tie. Instead, go for a pocket square in a colour that complements the bow tie's pattern or a complementary shade. This looks more sophisticated and contemporary than a ready-made set.

Complete accessory sets

Sometimes, you want that little extra flair. That's why we also offer complete accessory sets, where the bow tie is paired with a matching cummerbund or stylish suspenders. Ideal if you're aiming for a well-coordinated, formal look. The accessories are carefully selected to perfectly complement the bow tie, without making your look too busy.
