A history of Men’s bow ties: from mercenaries to formal elegance

The origin of the bow tie dates back to the XVII century: at the time, Croatian mercenaries used to close the front opening of their shirts with a piece of cloth resembling a ribbon. French Men’s fashion took inspiration from this accessory, contributing to popularizing it throughout Europe. During the Regency era in the United Kingdom, one of the most defining pieces of clothing used for Men’s fashion was the neckcloth, a progenitor of both the bow tie and the cravat; the neckcloth called for many different styles of knotting, and the knowledge of all decorous looks was one of the most immediate elements showing the social status of a man. Nowadays, bow ties are worn both in casual situations and more formal social gatherings that require a specific standard of elegance. Bow ties are commonly used for wedding ceremonies, and usually complete the groom’s outfit in combination with matching pocket squares.

Shapes and styles of the bow tie: the Butterfly and Diamond knots, the pre-tied and untied bow tie

There are many different shapes of bow ties depending on the knotting style, although the most common are only two: the Butterfly knot and the Diamond cut know.

The more classic Butterfly knot has the bow with rounded ends. It’s the most common bow tie and a timeless piece of Men’s fashion.

A second, fancy type of knot that has been popularized in recent years is the Diamond knot, a narrower bow with triangular shaped ends and a unique, classy look with the potential to turn heads during formal occasions.

Bow ties can be sold in two formats: the untied bow tie and the pre-tied version, which is more practical and easier to wear. In our online shop you can choose between various different solid colors and patterns, and combine your bow tie with matching suspenders to complete both elegant looks and casual-chic outfits.

Silk, wool, English gauze: choose the right fabric to match your style

Bow ties can, naturally, come in not only many different shapes, but also materials. While wool i salso used for bow ties, it is a less refined choice for stylish gentlemen who like to wear classy bow ties. For our bow ties, BRUCLE only chooses the best quality silk made by the famous and experienced Como craftsmen. Their silk’s softness and luminosity really has no wothy comparison.

For the Men’s bow ties collection, we chose the most refined Made in Italy silk twill for solid colors and elegant prints and jacquard patterns for our more intricate designs.

For ceremonies such as gala dinners and weddings, silk and double layered English gauze enhanced the three dimentional, refined look of your bow tie.
