Untied Bow Tie

Our Untied Bow Tie arrives exactly as the name says: a flat band with a butterfly-shaped bow at each end, waiting for you to tie it. A knot you make yourself sits slightly uneven, with soft dimples and real depth, and that small irregularity is what separates real evening dress from a costume. It belongs to our self tie bow ties collection.

Why an Untied Bow Tie Looks Better Once Tied

The fabric is a solid polyester with a light satin sheen, smooth enough to slide through the knot. On every colored tie, the narrow neck section behind the bow is black, which hides under a turned-down collar; the white tie is white along its whole length. A small metal slide and a hook at the end let you set the neck size before you start.

Tying a Self-Tie Bow Tie in Six Moves

Set the right end about an inch and a half lower than the left. Cross the long end over the short one and bring it up behind the neck loop. Fold the short end into a bow shape across your collar points. Drop the long end down over the front of that bow, fold it back on itself, and push the fold through the loop behind the front bow. Tighten by pulling opposite wings until both halves balance.

Untied Bow Tie FAQ

Does it come pre-tied?

No. It arrives flat and untied, and you tie it each time you wear it. A few practice runs make it routine.

Which shades can I choose from?

The color options shown in the photos run from black, white and navy to champagne, a mustard shade, light aqua and hot pink. Green, white and purple also have their own pages.

How do I get the right neck size?

It is one size with an adjustable band: move the slide to your collar size before tying. Use our size guide if unsure.
