I am not sure how "in" the bow tie is..maybe it is making a comeback. I guess to go grandpa and request to borrow the bow tie.

Leave me outta this. I'll wear their bow tie when they pry it out of my cold, dead, protesting fingers.

Okay, I make exceptions for tuxes, but those are pre-tied. And I still don't like them.

But I'm sure that for whomever else likes to wear them, it looks great.

Our granddaughter would like it. We got her a T-shirt with all the iterations lined across the front, and it's her favorite shirt.

My son has the shirt "Bow ties are cool". We were walking the strip in Niagara Falls and a couple older teens saw it, one flashed two thumbs up, and the other said "so are fezzes".

Nothing makes a teen stand taller then older teen acknowledging him like that.

Never wore a bowtie an hardly even a regular tie. They look funny to me. I had a period in university when i tried to look cool at parties by wearing a sort of shortened very narrow tie. Not a success. Nowadays i never would be caught dead in Bow tie or regular tie.
