Classic off-white bow tie, easy to maintain.
How to wear it
- A bow tie is essential for black tie, but a coloured or patterned bow tie looks equally refined with a blazer — or worn alone with a shirt.
- A bow tie should never be wider than your face: the points end approximately at the outer corners of your eyes.
- For black tie, wear black in the same fabric as your dinner jacket's lapels: silk with silk, grosgrain with grosgrain.
- Wear a bow tie with a spread collar or wing collar. With a wing collar, the collar points sit behind the bow tie.
Do's
- Tie it yourself: a bow tie that isn't perfectly symmetrical actually looks authentic and stylish.
- Adjust a pre-tied bow tie to your collar size before wearing.
- Pair a bow tie for black tie with a waistcoat or cummerbund to conceal your waistband.
Don'ts
- Avoid a bow tie wider than your face or collar.
- Never wear a bow tie and pocket square in the exact same print.
- No tie clip or chain with a bow tie: those belong with a necktie.
How to tie it
The classic bow tie
It seems complicated, but it's the same knot as your shoelaces. Practice it once around your knee, and you'll master it at your neck.
- Place the bow tie around your neck with the left end approximately 4 cm longer than the right.
- Drape the long end over the short end and pull it up through the loop at your neck from below.
- Fold the short end in half to create a horizontal loop: this becomes the front of your bow tie.
- Let the long end fall straight down over the centre of that loop.
- Fold the long end in half and tuck it behind the front loop through the opening behind the knot.
- Gently pull both loops simultaneously and straighten your bow tie.

More Information
Was polyester op 30°C op het synthetische/fijnwasprogramma. Keer het kledingstuk binnenstebuiten en sluit ritsen. Was met vergelijkbare kleuren. Gebruik een klein beetje vloeibaar wasmiddel. Gebruik geen bleekmiddel en liever geen wasverzachter. Een waszak helpt tegen pilling.
Droog bij voorkeur aan de lijn of plat op een rek. Mag in de droger op lage temperatuur (1 stip). Haal je item meteen uit de machine om kreuk te voorkomen. Vermijd hoge warmte; polyester kan glanzen of vervormen.
Strijk alleen als het nodig is, op lage temperatuur (1 stip). Gebruik een persdoek en strijk binnenstebuiten. Korte stoom mag, test eerst op een klein stukje. Strijk niet direct over prints of decoraties.

How we handle reviews
The label ‘Verified purchase’ appears on reviews written via the review link from an order or receipt that included this item, sent in our email or accessed from your account. These reviews go online immediately.
We read all other reviews before they go online. We cannot verify whether the writer purchased the item, so these reviews do not receive a label.
Reviews with the label appear first, followed by the most recent. Older reviews come from our previous review system and carry the label they were given there.
Reviews written in a language other than this page are translated automatically. Under a translated review you can always show the original.
Every month, we draw 2× € 50,00 in credit among everyone who writes a review, whatever your rating. If your order or receipt is linked to an account, you'll receive 50 loyalty points once per order or receipt for your review, whatever score you give.
