Love them or hate them, what are your reasons and try to bring some variety they are not that hard to learn how to tie so be original in your answer.

A gentleman's wardrobe is not complete without a polka dot bow tie. I have over 200 ties but only 3 bow ties. I don't have any button down collar shirts and bow ties should be worn with nothing but. I feel that a bow tie is more casual and should be worn with a sport coat. I also wouldn't wear a regular tie with a button down collar.

One of my pet peeves is when someone wears a tie with a short sleeve shirt. LOL One day a guy brought in an ugly plaid shirt with short sleeves. He asked "What kind of tie would you wear with this?" I replied "None." LOL I explained why and he said "But other people wear ties with short sleeve shirts." There is no hope for some people.

That's what tie's were ment to be worn with, what I don't like are those people who wear ties with t-shirts and polos, that is another one of my pet peeves.

Hi bowtieguy, I noticed that some of your discussions related to bowtie and tie, and also you use bowtie plus guy as your user name. I believe you probably are a tie and bowtie lover. We people from the tropical country seldom use tie or bowtie as the temperature here is quite high and we just uncomfortable when we put on them. Only those who are in air con room are using them often. Bowties are usually used by waiters in high class restaurants or those performers on the stage. I like to watch actors with bowties in those western movies. They looked cool and stylish.

I can understand that, being in a warmer climate you wouldn't wear one often, and you are right the name says it all. I am a bow tie wearer and lover, but just bows not necks.

I love seeing men wearing bows. I wish my husband would wear a tuxedo with a bow one special night, and bring me to a fancy restaurant for a candle light dinner with me. He would look so handsome, I am so sure about it! I don't know how to tie a bow, but I learned that there is an already tied bows available in the stores. Whenever my husband wants to wear a bow, I guess I would just buy an already tied one.

I like men wear bow ties as they make men look cool and special. Normal ties are too popular; so occasionally wearing bow ties will make them look different.
