I've started wearing bow ties instead of the standard straight ties last fall. I don't need to wear a tie for work, but the occasions where a tie is needed, they're a nice change of pace. Anyone else wear them? This is my collection so far.

I am neither young enough nor old enough to pull off a bowtie. ;)

Ive only worn one twise and they where tied by my girl for me as i have enough trouble with normal ties.

Though they do look good on certain people we will need a photo to determine if you look right for one.

Only with formal wear for me. Nothing against them otherwise, but I can't pull them off.

I have wanted to for some time now. I once spent a good deal of time researching how to tie one, but never picked any up. I think they were just too darned expensive for me, IIRC. I'd still like to pick a few up at some point.

Most of mine are from TheTieBar.com. Check them out all ties are $15 and flat rate shipping.

Sure, laugh all you want, I'm tough enough to take it.
Did I mention it was a clip-on bow tie?-(P

I'm kinda thinking about picking up a whale bow tie from vinyard vines to wear with my seersucker suite!

I only wear them with my tux. Otherwise, I don't really have many occasions to wear one and I definitely don't think I could pull it off.

I love bow ties it's not just for "older people", however I only own a plain black one... I do want more though, but my tie collection is already fairly large =P. Clip on's do bother me a lot though
