Unmissable rules of wearing a bow tie

Fashion designer Narendra Kumar, creative director at Amazon Fashion, India, shares innovative and trendy ways of wearing a bow tie. 

Keep fabric in mind when determining what kind of bow tie you want to wear to any given event. Your cotton and linen bow ties will be most appropriate at events that are more on a casual side. Meanwhile, silk and wool bow ties are best suited for formal affairs. 

Bow-ties have been making the rounds for a couple of seasons now. They look fresh, formal, and classy. Now that you’ve gotten used to wearing general bow-ties, giving them a printed twist will give them a quirky edge. You can pair printed bow ties with formal and casual wear both, and pull off that cool, hipster look you’ve always wanted to try. 

When you’re attending a wedding, don’t be afraid of colours and patterns. Especially if the wedding is outdoors or themed, a nice bow tie that matches the affair will fit right in. Weddings are perfect to take out your black / pearl white bow tie. Team it with your tux or a formal suit for a crisp silhouette look. 

Wearing a bow tie to work implies a sense of dapper professionalism. It also makes you look more creative and approachable. Just keep the colours and patterns on the simpler side, and you’ll be good to go. Team your light colour formal shirts with plaid bow tie or bow ties with stripes or polka dots.
