The bow tie has quickly become one of the most talked about trend in men’s fashion. Once worn exclusively with tuxedos or by bookworms, the bow tie has maneuvered itself into the forefront of modern fashion with the help of bow tie-wearing celebrities like Fonzworth Bentley and Andre 3000.

Not only for black-tie functions and weddings, take a style cue from the trend-setters and incorporate this hot trend into your wardrobe.

If you want to stick to its dressy roots, wear the bow tie with a suit but don’t be experiment with contrasting colours and fabrics. For example, a sleek black pinstripe suit will look fresh and modern with a bold polka-dot bow tie.

If the affluent business maverick look is more your thing, wear a simple black bow-tie with a black-and-white mini check shirt and black dress pants.

And, you can also take it down the more casual road by wearing the bow tie with a dress shirt and botton-down cardigan, with the sleeves rolled up to further dress down the look.

Any way you wear it, the bow tie is a strong fashion statement that will bring your look into the modern era with style and confidence.
