To stand out elegantly at a wedding, swap your standard tie for a bow tie. Our fashion experts guide you through the best knot styles for a polished wedding ensemble.
Bow ties are often dismissed as outdated or overly flashy, yet a thoughtfully selected, high-quality bow tie elevates any outfit. With endless options in colors, patterns, and knots—including the classic, slim, dandy, lord, club, and butterfly—you can tailor it perfectly to your style.
Discreet Knots
For a subtle wedding look, opt for understated elegance. The classic knot offers timeless versatility, the slim knot is narrower for a modern edge, the lord knot features pointed ends for sophistication, and the club knot has rounded ends for a refined touch.
Bold, Larger Knots
To make a statement, choose eye-catching options like the dandy knot—wider with sharp pointed ends—or the butterfly knot, the widest and most dramatic butterfly shape.
