Royal Blue Bow Tie

Royal blue is bright without being loud, and this royal blue bow tie in velvet gives it a rich texture at an oversized 13 by 11 cm (5.1 by 4.3 in). See the other velvet shades in our bow ties.

A Saturated Blue in Velvet

The flannelette velvet pile makes royal blue look deep and luminous under evening light, more striking than a flat satin.

Prom and Party Favorite

Royal blue matches cobalt, sapphire and electric blue dresses, which makes it a common prom choice. It also stands out against a black tuxedo in photos.

Pairing Suggestions for Your Bow Tie

Black or charcoal suits give the most contrast; light grey suits keep it fresh. Add a white pocket square and black shoes.

Comfort

The bow is ready to wear and fastens with an adjustable band, so it stays in place through a long evening of dancing.

Matching Accessories

Keep other accessories neutral: silver cufflinks, a white pocket square and black shoes let the blue stay the star. If your partner wears royal blue, a matching bow is the simplest way to look coordinated in every photo of the evening.
