Taking a Bow

Two years ago I began wearing bow ties again. I hadn't worn a single bow tie since childhood and was hesitant to follow a trend, so I started off with a few thrifted pieces.

Foulard/pattern.







 My collection has grown to thirty-two since that time and I've come to realize something. Just like the entire Ivy/Prep/Trad trend, bow ties will fade back into uncool obscurity and out of fashion.

 Paisley.








Yet, such unconventionally cool pieces will always be in style for individuals.

 Plaid, solid.

We should remember this is the very essence of style - timeless individuality through self-expression.

Stripes.

Or something eloquent like that.

More stripes.

Have a wonderful week, ladies and gents!
