The bow tie is a complement that many people have a mania for. A large majority believe that the tie is much more elegant and that the bow tie should only be worn with a tuxedo. However, I do not agree. Fashion changes and it is this who determines what we should wear or leave in the closet. It doesn't take a Fashion Victim so that one of the markets that moves the most money in the world has an impact on your clothing.
Long ago the bow tie was an element of distinction. The bow tie, also called this way, arises in the Prussian wars of the seventeenth century, the Croatian merchants used a kind of tie or scarf to protect their throat from the cold. A tie was placed around the neck that served to tie the openings of the shirt. Something that was quickly copied by the French upper class.
Currently, the tie is worn more, some believe that it is more modern, since its origin predates the bow tie. The latter is considered an old plugin, demodéThose who use it belong to another time. But those who think like this are very confused.
For example, one of the most acclaimed actors by the American public, Ed Westwick, appears constantly with a bow tie in Gossip Girl, a television series in which he plays Chuck Bass. And he is considered a fashion icon and one of the most attractive characters of 2008 by People magazine.
The bow tie is resurrecting. It is a trend again, if it were not so, the stylists of one of the most successful series in the world would not have had it so present throughout the chapters. I venture you what is to come. And, if you allow me a tip, I recommend that you dare to combine the bow tie with informal clothes. With formal clothes give it some grace, so as not to fall into the classic.
Please could you send me a ration or a page where to find bow ties in Madrid. Thank you
When we refer to a bow tie it is exactly that; bow tie. The bow tie is not a tie, but the collar of the shirt. From the specially designed shirt with a collar pointed up, instead of a shirt, to be worn with a bow tie. So please, bow tie, not bow tie.
Hello Victor. The dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language collects the following as the second meaning of bow tie:
2. f. Type of tie that is tied in the front in the form of a bow without falls.
Also, as you mean, collect the term "bow tie collar" as follows:
1. m. The one with a shirt, false and starched, with the tips turned outwards.
I do not know your origin, because the Spanish of Spain has numerous differences with the Spanish of America, and I do not know which is the Royal Academy by which your language is governed (if that is the case) but the term pajarita to refer to a tie The loop is totally and absolutely correct in the «Spanish of Spain», and this is a Spanish blog, as you can see for yourself if you follow this link to the RAE:
