Wedding bow tie:which model to choose?

Bow ties are sometimes considered too extravagant or too “old”. But a well-chosen, well-made and well-worn bow tie can be a real style asset. In addition, there is an infinite choice of colors and prints, as well as several types of bow ties:the classic knot, the Slim knot, the Dandy knot, the Lord knot, the Club knot and the Butterfly knot.

Discreet knots

If you're thinking of wearing a bow tie to a wedding, then you'll have to decide if you want to keep it low key or if you want to stand out. If you prefer a subtle look, then the classic knot, the slim knot (thinner than the classic knot), the Lours knot (and its pointed ends) and the Club knot (and its rounded ends) will be your best allies.

A large bow tie

If, on the contrary, you want to impress, then you will need a more conspicuous knot, such as the Dandy knot which is wider than average and has pointed ends, or the Butterfly knot which is undoubtedly the type of knot widest butterfly.
