00:00 Introduction

In the first half of the 20th century, bow ties were almost as common as neckties as a Classic Style neckwear option. Why did they fall out of favor?

00:32 1. Bow Ties Emphasize Horizontal Lines
02:13 2. Odd Look Against Expansive Shirt Fronts
03:35 3. Common Associations with Formality
05:59 4. They Require One More Knot to Learn
08:42 5. Butterfly Bows as the "Only" Style
10:33 6. Perceptions as a Statement Piece
12:38 7. Negative Cultural Associations

While bow ties may have fallen out of favor for the general public, there’s no reason that they have to stay that way! We have several guides on how to integrate a bow tie into your personal Classic Style look.
