Homecoming Bow Tie

Homecoming bow ties need to do one job well: match your date's dress in photos. That is why we offer this one as a full set in a single solid color, with the pre-tied butterfly bow, a pocket square, a fabric rosette lapel flower and cufflinks covered in the same fabric. The satin-look weave catches the gym lights without looking shiny.

Matching a Homecoming Bow Tie to Your Date

Ask for a clear daylight photo of the dress before you choose. Red, pink, royal blue and emerald green are the shades that come up most at homecoming and prom. Lavender suits pastel dresses, and burgundy or navy blue work for darker gowns. Our gold color is a mustard-yellow rather than metallic, good with yellow or ochre dresses. Light silver-gray and black are the safe picks if the dress is sequined or multicolored. If the shades are not an exact match, go one tone darker; it always looks intentional.

Bow Tie Tips for Prom and School Dances

The bow comes pre-tied, so there is no knot practice before the dance. Pin the lapel flower on the left lapel, where a boutonniere usually sits, or skip it if your date is bringing one. A white shirt and a dark suit or a rented tux make every color here work. Other shapes and fabrics sit in our bow ties.
