Bow Tie and Suspender Set Styles: Solids, Prints and Novelty
Solid colors make up most of the range. The Bow Tie and Suspenders set alone runs from aqua and mint green to wine, crimson, raspberry, coral and black, and there are single-color sets in red, pink, orange, green, brown, navy blue, royal blue and burgundy. The Lavender Suspenders and Bow Tie set is coordinating rather than identical, with a slightly paler bow.
For a playful touch, the Men's Novelty Suspenders print card suits on the straps with a red, black or white bow, and the American Flag Suspenders suit Fourth of July parties. The Gangster Costume Set adds a hat to the bow tie and suspenders, ready for a themed night; more ideas sit in our gangster costumes.
Wedding and Groomsmen Suspender Bow Tie Sets
Some sets are built for weddings. The Wedding Bow Tie and Suspenders set covers a wide palette, from black, ivory and light gray to lavender, dark green, burgundy, navy blue, brown and tan. Groomsmen Suspenders and Bow Ties come in black, light gray, dark green, burgundy, navy blue and sage green, all easy to match with bridesmaids' dresses.
Each set is one pair of suspenders with one bow tie, so order one set per person for the whole party. The Sage Green Bow Tie and Suspenders set even offers an option with a lapel flower. For a different bow for the groom, see our groom bow tie collection.
Men's Bow Tie and Suspenders in Matching and Coordinating Colors
Matching sets give a clean, uniform look: the same red, black or navy from collar to waistband. That works well for prom and photos, where the color reads clearly from across the room.
If you want something softer, pair a coordinating set with a neutral suit. Burgundy or dark green with charcoal, brown or tan with a light gray suit, and pink or lavender with navy all look deliberate without being loud. The Christmas Bow Tie and Suspenders sets combine solid navy, green or red straps with a holiday-print bow for seasonal parties.
Suspender and Bow Tie Set Details: Clips, Tabs and Straps
Most sets use elastic straps with silver-tone clips held by faux leather tabs, and the straps meet at the back in a Y shape. The Y-Back Suspenders and Bow Tie Set has four clips and comes in shades such as royal blue, champagne, white, pink, gray and red.
The bow ties in these sets are generally pre-tied on an adjustable band, which keeps things simple for a group of groomsmen. If you would rather knot your own, swap in a self tie bow tie, and see our suspender clips page for more clip-on straps.
The 1920s Look of a Man with Bow Tie and Suspenders
Braces and a bow tie were everyday kit for a well-dressed man in the twenties, usually worn under a vest with high-waisted trousers. Today the combination is shown off openly, often with the jacket off and the sleeves rolled.
For a Gatsby party, add a flat cap or a fedora, two-tone shoes and a crisp white shirt. Our 1920s mens fashion page has the rest of the outfit, and hidden suspenders are there for days when you want the hold without the show.
