Butterfly

A gold and light blue polyester bow tie for men, worn with a suit when a regular tie feels too everyday. It pairs warm gold with light blue, so it gives your outfit a point of focus without clashing with it.

At weddings, parties and formal dinners, a plain black bow tie is the safe pick, but it easily disappears against a dark suit. Two colours give your look something people notice.

Styling

• With a white shirt and a navy or grey suit, both the gold and the light blue have room to show.
• With a black suit and a white shirt, the contrast gets sharper, which works well for evening events.

Not for you if you want a single-colour bow tie that matches every outfit.
