The formal and luxurious appearance of bow ties makes them a popular choice for fancy events. If you dress up this way, you can exude grace and elegance at your events.

Wear a charcoal-colored suit, a white dress shirt, and select a similar grey shade of bow tie. You may also select a black bow tie.

No matter how fancy an occasion is, this outfit will always be the best option for you.

Can you wear a bow tie with a blazer?

Suits are formal attires that are commonly worn on business occasions, weddings, etc. However, if you want to dress for semi-formal or casual events this winter, such as birthday parties, Christmas celebrations, or just for the sake of looking good, you might wear a blazer. But can you wear a bow tie with a blazer? The answer is ‘yes’ because the right type of colors and patterns can help you pair your blazers with your favorite bow ties to look unique and stylish.

Here are a few ways that you can pair your bow tie with your blazer to achieve an amazing look:

  1. Wear a dark gray blazer on a white dress shirt. Navy blue jeans, and finish off with a navy-blue bow-tie. With this combination of colors, you will end up looking decent and graceful. Check out our oxford dress shoes to complete this look.
  2. Wear khaki dress pants, a khaki waistcoat, and a light gray blazer. Complete your look with a charcoal-colored or a navy-blue bow tie.

Match your bow tie with suspenders

You will certainly look amazingly fashionable with this style. Wear a pale dress shirt tucked inside your pants, a dark-colored plaid jacket, and denim jeans. Wear dark brown suspenders and pair them with a matching bow tie. You can choose different patterns for your bow ties, such as polka dots, stripes, checkered, etc.

Wooden bow ties for formal and casual looks

With the increased variety of bow ties, you can also find bow ties carved out of wood. For a formal appearance, you can wear a dark blue, light gray, or a dark gray suit with a white dress shirt and a wooden bow tie for a neat and elegant look.

Check out our handmade American black walnut wooden bow tie that comes with a pocket square, cuff-links, and a wooden lapel pin set.

For a casual look, you can wear the wooden bow tie with a button-down shirt with polka dots, a navy-blue blazer, denim jeans, and brown suede shoes.

Feather bow ties with a pop of color

If you want a luxurious look with a pop of color with your formal attires, you can substitute your regular bow tie with something better: a feather bow tie! Feather bow ties are meant to be worn on extremely formal occasions, and a good feather bow tie exudes charm and confidence.

You can play with various contrasts and patterns at this point. You can wear a dark blue suit with a vibrant green feather bow tie, a black suit with a black and white striped bow tie, a skin-colored suit with a dark brown, polka dots bow tie. The choices are endless. The trick is to play with contrasts and patterns.

If you are looking for high-quality feather bow ties, our collection of feather bow ties is handcrafted with care and precision.
