    Default Bow-Ties.

    Where do you stand on bow-ties? Geeky? Awesome? Meh?

    Personally i'm going to stock up on more to match some shirts I have and rock them with jeans, slacks, ect.


    Do you wear them frequently?

    Bow-Ties are classy but say hey I'm here to party! Nice shirt with some jeans and a slick looking bow-tie... I mean come on you can't go wrong. So I guess I would stand on the positive side of bow-ties, just one classy mans thought to another.

    It's funny to see some people do a double take as if to say, "Is that guy really wearing a bow-tie?" They kind of almost demand attention seeing that most kids these days wear their pants on their thighs and flat-brim hats, ect. You really stick out if you actually dress nice.

    Not unless it's with a baby blue tux, otherwise you're underdressing the elegance that is the bow tie.

    I only wear ties to ironically compliment my mohawk and facial piercings. Anime kitty ears and a luchidore wrestling mask work their way into my lineup also.
    Not joking

    I wore a vest and a bow tie at a party then afterwards I went to target and everyone was looking at me.

    OP: bow ties are sexy, classy, and awesome.

    I'm just now realizing how hard it is to pull off wearing a bow tie with jeans. Lol.

    ^^^^ Yes Gison so true, you can wear a bow-tie anywhere but just be ready for all the stares and comments of you being the best dressed person in the room

    Matching doesn't always look the best, but, yes it does match. There is light blue in the tie you just can't see it.

    When I wear a bow tie, I wear it with a suit to look formal

    If you wear them with any day clothing, then you'll probably just look like a hipster.

    Looking quite fresh my friend I like bow-ties but slick thin black ties are y thing to rock with some jeans. But you can rock a mean bow-tie

    Some people can pull them off without looking geeky, some people can't.
    I look really dumb in bowties

    I think bow ties are extremely appealing .....but they have to be the real tie your own type not pre tied, and preferably left untied at the end of a night out with top button undone too....sigh.

    Fyi....I don't wear them myself ;P
