From Pinocchio's iconic bow tie in 1940 to Ryan Gosling's, playfully adjusted by Meryl Streep at the SAG Awards last January, the bow tie has staged a stylish comeback and reclaimed its spot in modern wardrobes.
Elevate a basic outfit with bold statement pieces like colorful sneakers, standout jewelry, and unique accessories—the bow tie leads the pack.
Butterfly of light...
The bow tie sets itself apart from classic ties and the trending slim styles. Like a ribbon on a gift box, it frames the face beautifully, highlighting a groomed beard or chiseled jawline—but only if sized right. Skip oversized XXL versions that overwhelm; choose a sleek, modern slim cut instead. For everyday wear, pair it with a crisp neutral shirt and vibrant chinos.
...in the spotlight!
The bow tie's bold, 'YOLO' energy is what makes it irresistible today. Artist Stromae exemplifies this with his signature mini bow ties featuring geometric, quirky prints. As a standout piece, it invites experimentation: vivid colors, avant-garde patterns like bandana, jacquard, op art, or wax prints. Echo the design in a matching pocket square. The boldest stylists coordinate tones across their entire outfit, sapology-style.
Now a pop culture staple for urban days, evenings, and dates, the bow tie still shines in its classic form—black satin with a tailored tuxedo remains unbeatable.
