Red and Black Bow Tie

This is the bow tie red and black evening outfits call for, with a twist: the ground is black, crossed by red diagonal stripes and dotted with small white spots, so it reads graphic and lively rather than flat. It is pre-tied and comes with a matching pocket square and cufflinks.

Wearing a Striped Red and Black Bow Tie

Diagonal stripes recall the club ties of the 1920s and look sharp against a plain white shirt. Wear it with a black or charcoal suit for a casino night, a jazz brunch, a New Year's Eve party or a Roaring Twenties birthday. If your partner wears red, the two colours lock together in photos. Keep the shirt solid so the stripes stay in front.

Sizing and Fabric of This Bow Tie Set

The bow is about 4.72 by 2.36 in (12 by 6 cm). Its band runs from roughly 11.81 to 22.44 in (30 to 57 cm) and hooks at the back of the neck, which covers most collar sizes. The satin-finish fabric has a silk-like sheen that catches evening light. Plain colours, velvet and other patterns are waiting in our bow ties.

Red and Black Bow Tie FAQ

Is it plain red and black?

No. It is black with red diagonal stripes and small white dots, and the pocket square and cufflinks follow the same pattern.

How do you put on a pre-tied bow tie?

Set the band to your collar size first, place it around your neck under the collar and fasten the metal hook at the back. Fold the collar down and straighten the bow.

Which suit colour works best with it?

Black, charcoal and dark navy. Brown and tan tend to fight with the red.
