White Self-Tie Bow Tie

Our White Self-Tie Bow Tie is the one to choose when the invitation says white tie, or when you simply want a brighter knot than black against a dinner suit. It arrives untied, in solid white with a soft satin sheen, and unlike our colored ties its neck band is white too, so nothing dark peeks out from the collar.

A White Self-Tie Bow Tie for Formal Evenings

Traditional white tie means a tailcoat, a wing-collar shirt and a white bow tie knotted by hand, which is exactly what this piece is for. It also looks sharp with a cream dinner jacket at a summer wedding or a Great Gatsby ball, where white on white feels very 1920s. The butterfly-shaped ends give a full, rounded bow once knotted.

Keeping a White Bow Tie Bright

White shows every fingerprint, so tie it with clean hands and put it on last, after cufflinks and collar studs. Between events, store it flat and wrapped in tissue so the fabric stays free of creases and dust. More styles are in our self tie bow ties collection.

White Bow Tie FAQ

Can I wear it with a black tuxedo?

Yes, though it reads as a bold choice rather than classic black tie. It works best at a themed party, a wedding with an all-white palette, or a jazz night.

How does the band adjust?

A small metal slide moves along the band and a hook closes it at the back. Set it to your collar size before you start tying.

Is it a pure optical white?

It is a solid, clean white with a satin sheen. Shirts range from bright to ivory, so compare it with yours in daylight before the event.
