Purple Self-Tie Bow Tie

Our Purple Self-Tie Bow Tie covers both ends of the violet family: Lavender, a light, airy violet, and Purple, a medium-deep shade with more weight. Each one arrives untied for you to knot, and each has the same black adjustable neck band with a metal slide and hook.

Lavender or Purple: Choosing a Self-Tie Bow Tie Shade

Lavender belongs to daylight: spring weddings, garden parties, a christening, a pale linen or light gray suit. Purple holds up after dark, against charcoal, navy or a black dinner jacket at the theatre or a winter wedding. If the bridesmaids wear lilac or mauve, lavender is usually the closer coordinating tone; with plum or eggplant dresses, go for the deeper purple.

Purple Bow Tie Outfits for Groomsmen and Gatsby Nights

For a wedding party, we suggest one shade for every groomsman and a different pocket square for the groom. At a Gatsby party, purple with a gray vest and black-and-white spectator shoes makes a confident 1920s look. Both ties have a smooth fabric with a soft sheen. The rest of the range is in our self tie bow ties collection.

Purple Bow Tie FAQ

Can women wear it?

Of course. Tie it at the collar of a white blouse or under a tuxedo-style blazer, and set the slide shorter for a slimmer neck.

Will the lavender match my wedding colors exactly?

Shades vary between fabrics, so hold the tie against a swatch of the dresses in daylight before ordering for the whole party.

Is the purple close to burgundy?

It is a true medium-deep purple, cooler than burgundy, which is a separate shade in our self-tie range.
