What Do You Think About Bow Ties

[PleaseBlitz]

This topic came up in the Hugh Douglas thread.  What do you think about bow ties?

 

Personally, I think they are silly and would never, ever wear one unless it was with a tuxedo.*  Evidently they are "in" right now, but so are a lot of things that are stupid.  I recently took the bar exam and was in a room with 1200 people in suits, at least 15% of the males were wearing bow ties. Every one of them looked ridiculous.   

 

Clowns wear bow ties.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

*A bow tie with a tuxedo is acceptable and IMO preferable to a regular tie.

Unless I'm wearing a tux, there's no way I'm wearing one. When I see someone in a bowtie, they remind me of Urkle or someone from the NOI.

I think they "can" look pretty sharp. I couldn't pull it off. So I won't.

Only if I have a crocodile on my feet, and fox fur on  my back... Driving a Cadillac.

[SkinsHokieFan]

I am a big fan. Then again I am also ridiculous and edgy in my look in general

It can be worn with the right suit.

 

I have to wear a tux roughly 5-6 times a month so I like bow ties.

[PleaseBlitz]

I think people that wear bow ties would all described themselves as "edgy."  Nobody else would.  

[CrypticVillain]

Bow ties are lame. Even if I did wear a tux, it would be with a long skinny tie. I won't wear a bow tie.  

[Chew]

damn, i made a simple joke about bowties in the Dougas thread......lol

 

if you can pull off a bowtie, go for it.  i wouldn't get caught dead one one though.

Only NOI members can pull this off IMO

:ols: poor SHF

And frankly, I'm not about to take fashion tips from Elijah Muhammed.

Bow ties are straight clown time. No exceptions.

[pjfootballer]

Bow ties with tux only. I didn't pick one or the other in the poll because I don't think they're silly, but I prefer a regular tie.

Hugh Douglas is a race traitor. Had to counter-balance the universe . . .

 

I'm pro bow tie, but only 'cause if you can rock it without irony or being self-conscious more power to ya. Just like with any article of clothing: wear what you want. We got too many clones walking around. 

 

I've never worn one apart from a tux. 

 

[Predicto]

All ties are stupid anachronisms.  Bow ties are just more stupid.

[SkinsHokieFan]

That suit/bowtie that Hugh Jackman is rocking in the last picture I put up is sick.

 

Guys can rock anything, you can wear a tuxedo to a BBQ and make it look good if you go with it.

 

Same with bowties

The word I'm thinking of only has 3 letters.

[SkinsHokieFan]

I am guessing people in this thread are also afraid of pants with colors, fitted bespoke suits, pocket squares and wing tips? 

[Chew]

isn't there technically 4 letters in "d-bag?"

[Elessar78]

So left coast of you.

You'd never call Hugh Douglas that to his face.

[thebluefood]

Agreed. I never wear them and I never liked them. I'm more of a turtleneck guy.

 

And yes, I have been told I look like a snooty NPR disc jokey on multiple occasions. 

[PokerPacker]

How can you not like Bowties?

[A Walton]

Tells me - instant donkey.  Especially in the South.

Not a fan, they come across as douchey to me unless they are part of a tux.
