Men's fashion- the bow tie

2. Bow Ties have been worn by men for many centuries, the first bow tie being reported in the 17th century. Traditionally the tie has thought to have been the reserve of certain professions and any attempt to wear one would often be associated with an attempt to draw attention to ones self. More recently, however, there has been a resurgence of the bow tie as a legitimate fashion accessory. After spending many years in the fashion wilderness, hopefully, it is back to stay.

3. Men's fashion designers are currently looking for inspiration from previous generations, this can be seen with the resurgence of accessories like the pocket square and the tie bar. Many celebrities have been seen wearing bow ties, including the current Doctor Who actor Matt Smith, who has made bow tie wearing cool again. There is an increasing trend by designers for taking fashionable items from yesteryear and updating them, giving them a new look for the modern man. The bow ties of today are much slimmer than the older versions.

4. If you have never worn a bow tie before, the concept of tying one may seem a little bit daunting, but with practice you should be able to accomplish this quite easily and achieve a perfect finish. If you are overwhelmed by the prospect, there are plenty of pre-tied or clip on versions, which look very effective, but for that extra finesse, take some time and learn to tie your own. Like any tie, colour is important, generally winter commands darker, more solid colours while spring and summer can afford lighter and more pastel shades. Traditionally most ties were made from silk, but are now available in many materials including wools, tweeds and even denim, giving them much greater versatility.

5. Bow ties are no longer associated with formal attire, they can now be worn without a jacket, even worn with a shirt and jeans, giving a more casual, yet fashionable look Other accessories can also be added to give extra style, and they look great with braces, just make sure you coordinate colours and patterns, to achieve a very stylish look.
