Self-Tie Red Bow Tie

Our Self-Tie Red Bow Tie is the bold one of the family: a bright red band with a satin-look finish, delivered untied so you shape the knot yourself, as full or as tight as you like. Red at the collar gets noticed across a room, and a hand-tied bow makes it look chosen rather than borrowed.

Red Self-Tie Bow Tie Occasions, From Christmas to Swing Night

Red belongs to the December office party, a Valentine's dinner and New Year's Eve. With a black tuxedo it warms up black tie; with a navy suit and a white shirt it gives a classic, slightly cheeky contrast. For a 1920s swing dance, wear it with gray trousers, suspenders and rolled sleeves. Keep the pocket square white, or let a little red echo the bow, but never two bright reds fighting.

Fitting and Tying a Red Bow Tie at Home

The neck section adjusts with a hook and eye slider: set it to your collar size, then tie. Our bow tie tying guide explains the knot in plain steps. Practice the day before the party, not five minutes before you leave. Untied, the band lies flat and slips easily into a jacket pocket. More shades are in our self tie bow tie.

Red Bow Tie FAQ

Can I wear a red bow tie to a black tie event?

At a holiday party or a festive gala, yes. For a formal wedding, check the dress code first, since some hosts expect black.

What shirt goes best with it?

White, every time, for evening. In daytime, a light blue or pale pink shirt works well with a gray suit.

How do I keep the two sides of the bow even?

Tug the folded loops and the free ends in opposite directions, a little at a time, until both halves match in width.
