Lime Green Bow Tie

This lime green bow tie comes flat and untied, a bright chartreuse band with butterfly-shaped ends and a satin-look surface, so the bow at your collar is one you shaped with your own hands. It is part of our self tie bow tie range, for men who would rather knot than clip.

Wearing a Lime Green Bow Tie Without Overdoing It

Chartreuse is loud, so we keep the rest calm: a white or pale gray shirt and a charcoal, navy or mid-gray suit. It brightens a summer wedding where the bridesmaids wear green or yellow, a spring prom, or a jazz-age lawn picnic with a cream jacket and a boater. Skip a second strong color at the pocket; a plain white square is enough.

Setting Up the Self-Tie Bow Tie Before the First Knot

Fit the neck section first: the hook and eye slider sets the length, so measure against a shirt you wear often and fasten. The smooth fabric helps the band glide through the knot. If you have never tied one, our bow tie tying guide walks you through each step, and two or three practice runs in front of a mirror usually do it.

Lime Green Bow Tie FAQ

Will I need to tie it myself?

Yes, that is the point of this style. Untie it after wearing and store it flat or loosely rolled so the fabric stays smooth.

Is lime green too bright for a wedding guest?

Not at a daytime or summer wedding. At an evening reception with a dark suit it becomes the one bright note of the outfit, which is how we like to wear it.

Which collar shows the knot best?

A point or spread collar frames the bow well. A wing collar suits formal evening dress, though lime is more of a daytime shade.
