Pre-Tied Black Bow for This Bow Tie

The bow is shaped and stitched, so it stays even throughout the evening. The band fastens at the back and adjusts to most collar sizes.

The Rule for Black Tie

With a tuxedo, a black bow is always correct. Choose a white dress shirt, black shoes and, if you like, a white pocket square. Avoid long ties with a dinner jacket.

Using It at a Gatsby Party

Combine it with a black suit, slicked-back hair and a fedora for a 1920s gangster look, or with suspenders and a white shirt once the jacket comes off.

A Spare for Emergencies

A pre-tied bow is useful to keep in a drawer for last-minute invitations.

Choosing Between Pre-Tied and Self-Tie

A pre-tied bow is quicker and always symmetrical, which suits long events and nervous grooms. A self-tie bow looks more traditional and can be left undone at the end of the night. If you only plan to own one, the pre-tied version is the safest everyday choice.
