These Gorgeous Men Sporting Bow Ties Will Make You Want To Buy One Right Away

The French loved it when they saw the Croatians flaunt their bow ties in the early 19th century and before we knew, it became a staple in men’s fashion. While its function was to hold the neck of the shirt together, through time, it became famous for its fashion quotient rather than its functionality. 

Now, while the neck tie has its own charm, the bow tie has many takers. And as far as we know, Frank Sinatra loved it and Dean Martin made sure he always wore one. For the ladies, Audrey Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich paved the way for its inclusion in women’s fashion. 

But history aside, it’s hard to argue with a man in a bow tie. We believe it needs to be resuscitated and brought back into fashion, especially the Indian fashion scene. Because a man in a bow tie has an appeal that is sophisticated, kitsch and temptingly hot, all at the same time. And God knows we can do with a few degrees of sunshine. 

Be it a formal dinner party, a friendly get together or a day at work, you can pull off this look any day and any time. To give you some inspiration, here’s some bow tie swagger:
