In this month’s monthly accessories i will be finishing off the series on bow ties. Part 1 was an introduction to bow ties and the different types such as the skinny, standard and cocktail bow ties.  In part 2 we will be shifting gears a bit.  We will be talking about self tie vs. pre tie and how to tie a self tie bow tie.  Finally we will be talking about (drumroll please)………..wooden bow ties!!!! Yes, you read that right!!

On the left is a self-tie bow tie and on the right is a pre-tied bow tie.  Personally i prefer the self tie because it’s not rigid, it has character and you can alway put a spin on it.  On the other hand, the pre-tied bow tie all look the same and tied the same but when you tie a bow tie yourself you have free reign on how you want it to look.  Another twist to bow ties are wooden bow ties!!!! They are awesome because it’s unlike anything i have seen before and they are different.

They are so cool that even Mike Conley Jr. wore them after an NBA game.  In a few years a lot of people are going to be wearing them so if you can afford them….i suggest you get one at woodenbowties.com
