Resurfacing as a must-have in every man's wardrobe, the bow tie was once a formal finishing touch to a man's evening attire. Forming the shape of a classic bow, the offering has grown from a black silk-satin design to a range of ties adorned with bold patterns, whimsical prints and an array of colours and materials. Wear yours without a suit jacket for a dressed-down look or opt for old-school styling and wear yours with braces. If you're more sleek than statement, choose a muted hue and pair yours with a perfectly tailored suit jacket.
