Aqua Bow Tie

Our Aqua Bow Tie is a large, soft floppy bow in a light turquoise satin-look fabric, about 5 x 6.3 in (13 x 16 cm), far fuller than the narrow bow on a tuxedo. It comes pre-tied on a thin adjustable strap and is made for anyone: women wear it at the neck of a blouse, men wear it as an artistic flourish.

Styling an Aqua Floppy Bow Tie for Summer

Aqua is a seaside color, and we style it that way: with a white blouse and wide navy trousers for a 1920s resort look, or at the collar of a cream dress for a garden tea. Men can wear it with a chambray shirt and a linen jacket at a summer party, a gallery opening or a beach wedding. It also works for a choir, a stage costume or a café uniform where a soft color is wanted.

Why This Bow Tie Drapes Instead of Standing Stiff

A classic bow is small and firm. This one is wider and taller, with soft loops that fold over themselves and settle as you move, which gives it a romantic, vintage air on a blouse and a bohemian one on a shirt. For a narrower shape, look through our bow ties.

Aqua Bow Tie FAQ

Do I need to tie it?

No. The bow is already formed. Wrap the strap around your neck under the collar, fasten it at the back and center the bow.

Is it too big for a man's shirt?

It is a statement size, and with a classic collar it shows fully, which is the idea. For an office day or a groom's outfit, a standard bow is more discreet.

Which colors go with aqua?

Navy, white, cream, coral and sand. We avoid pairing it with another bright turquoise piece.
