Patterned Bow Tie

Each patterned bow tie on this page comes with a pocket square cut in the same design, so collar and breast pocket match without guesswork. The cloth has a woven jacquard look with a slight sheen, and the patterns run from pin dots and paisleys to plaids, checks and stripes. Pre-tied styles wait in our bow ties.

A Self-Tie Bow Tie on an Adjustable Band

This is a true self-tie: it arrives flat, in a butterfly shape, and you tie the knot yourself. The black neck band is marked for adjustment from 13 3/4 inches upward and closes with a metal hook at the back. Tied, the bow sits about 4.7 inches wide by 2.4 inches tall (12 x 6 cm). A hand-tied knot has a character no clip-on matches.

Choosing a Bow Tie Pattern for the Occasion

Pin dots in navy, burgundy or green are the quiet choice for a wedding guest. Paisleys in red, gold and navy with orange bring warmth to a brown or tan suit. Plaids and checks feel at home at a swing dance or a Gatsby picnic with a straw boater. For groomsmen, pick one pattern for the whole line.

Patterned Bow Tie FAQ

How do you tie a bow tie?

Set the band to your neck size, drape it with one end slightly longer, then cross the long end over the short one and bring it up through the neck loop. Fold the short end into a bow shape, drop the long end down over its middle, then fold it and push it through the loop behind the front bow. Tighten both folds.

Is the pocket square included?

Yes. Every pattern is a 2-piece set: bow tie plus pocket square.

Which pattern is easiest to match?

Navy pin dot suits almost any outfit. Bold plaids want a plain shirt and a solid jacket.

Prefer a different color?

Gold Paisley Bow Tie
