5 Basic Styles Of Bow Ties To Enhance Your Look

Bow-ties are the perfect style statement for class and elegance like no other accessory and there are five basic styles that truly accentuate your style quotient.

1) The Standard Bow Tie

This is your all basic formal bow-tie which is suitable for any event or occasion. It has to be neat, precise and well-disciplined. The only visible part should be the bow-tie and the size of it should also be just medium in proportion to your face.

2) The Classic Butterfly Bow Tie

This is the most common version of a bow tie that you must have seen in all classic bow-tie looks. The perfect butterfly wing like structure spread out neatly. This is a grand style because the bow-tie is structured wide and flattery. It will go really well with casual and semi formal outfits!

3) The Semi Butterfly Bow Tie

This style is a bit more casual than the butterfly style. Although both styles are not so popular for an all formal look and are more so famous for their style quotient as fancy bow-ties, the semi-butterfly is more of a casual style because it is subtle. It is not as “out there” as the butterfly style and is more controlled but still wider than your standard bow-tie.

4) The Slim or Straight-End Bow Tie

This is your all formal bow-tie look that represents a mature and responsible look. This bow-tie is more so for dress code than fashion statement because it is a very narrow style with straight edges. Both corners are not out there, flattery or bouncy but rather very subtle and neat.

5) The Diamond Bow-Tie

The diamond ended bow-tie is a bit more complex bow-tie style with a neat diamond shape on both ends. This style is very rare and thus if you wish to stand out at a party, you should opt for this style. You have variations in the diamond ended based on the size of the bow tie be it slim or very slim.
