The Past and Present of Bow Ties

Bow ties originated in the 17th century during European wars with Croatian mercenaries who used scarves around their necks to secure their collars. This method was gradually adopted by the French upper class. Later, French ministers would tie a white scarf around their necks and make an elegant bow at the front, thus making the bow tie a symbol of nobility.

By the late 19th century, the ends of bow ties became longer and gradually evolved into ties, casual suits, while bow ties gradually became less popular and became a symbol of old-school style. But in today's society, with the popularity of men's fashion, bow ties are being rediscovered and widely used. Some people wear bow ties to more relaxed dinners, cocktail parties, or evening events. In fact, bow ties are still considered the most formal and only decoration for men's collars.

What Occasions Are Suitable for Wearing Bow Ties?

In modern life, it's not easy for gentlemen to suddenly switch back to bow ties. First, bow ties are still exclusive to formal and more solemn occasions, such as celebrations, parties, and receptions. Moreover, when it comes to business negotiations or meetings, people naturally choose ties. Actually, if you have confidence in your taste, bow ties can completely replace ties in any occasion, just as the famous gentleman etiquette expert K. Cooper Ray once said: "Bow ties are not old-fashioned but classic; old fashion is coming back. Once you get used to them, you will find they are more practical and easier to wear than ties."
