There’s no doubt about it – bow ties are in!
This past week at Toronto’s LG Fashion Week, I was struck by how many bow ties were fashionably worn on and off the runway.

I do wonder though if bow ties were ever out of fashion? People like Andre 3000 and Justin Timberlake were wearing them long ago.

Nowadays, other celebrities (or their stylists) are fans of the bow tie.

For a casual look, a bow tie is best paired with a patterned shirt and jeans.

If you’re not ready to bow-it-up for daytime, it’ll always be a winning accessory for the tuxedo.

Although some celebrity women are showing bow tie appreciation, I think this is one accessory that is best left for men.
