A white bow tie and white tie dressing is champion, when it comes to formality. The white bow tie used to be standard at any formal event, but nowadays things are a bit more liberal and less formal. You can use a white bow tie with any outfit – just for the sake of it. You can dress it down and wear it with vivid, bold colours or go for a stylish, monochrome flair.
Other than being fun accessories, men’s white bow ties are an essential part of a full evening dress, accompanied by a white waistcoat and an evening tailcoat. A full evening dress with a white bow tie can be worn at weddings and formal balls – but remember, a full evening dress should never be worn before 6 pm.
You can go for either a pre-tied or a self-tie bow. The later is often seen to be the most elegant and sophisticated option - but be warned, it takes quit a bit of practice to learn how to tie a bow tie correctly.
A pre-tied bow tie comes either as a click-on bow tie or with an adjustable strap and an easy to use hook fastener. The adjustable band ensures that you have the perfect fit – and only the keenest of connoisseurs will know that you haven’t spent hours in front of the mirror, tying your own bow tie.
When choosing a white bow tie, you can either go for a bow tie in white linen, a luxurious silk bow tie or choose one with subtle flecks or even black dots to add a bit of extra fun to your stylish attire.
