Ladies Black Bow Tie

This ladies black bow tie is sized for a woman's collar yet makes a bigger statement than a standard tuxedo bow, at about 13 by 16 cm of silk-like satin with long tails falling below the knot. It sits on an adjustable band, so there is no tying to learn. See our full range of bow ties for other shapes.

Black Bow Tie Dress Codes for Women

Black is the color most dress codes ask for. Orchestra and choir members wear it with a white or black shirt on concert nights, restaurant and hotel staff add it to a uniform, and a woman in a tuxedo suit at a black-tie wedding can wear it where others would put a necklace.

A Black Bow Tie for a 1920s Costume

At a Gatsby party, the black bow turns a white blouse and high-waisted trousers into a menswear-inspired twenties outfit, a nod to the women of that decade who borrowed from their brothers' wardrobes. Add suspenders and a fedora, or keep the look feminine with a pleated skirt and T-strap heels.

Black Bow Tie FAQ

Does it fit a men's shirt collar?

Yes. The band adjusts, and the supplier lists it for women and men alike. Bear in mind the bow is larger than most men's bow ties.

Do I need to know how to tie a bow tie?

No. The bow is already formed, so you only fasten the band at the back of the neck and straighten the knot under your collar.

Is the satin shiny?

Satin has a natural sheen, so it catches more light than a matte fabric. The product photos give the best idea of the finish.
