Butterfly

A light blue striped bow tie in polyester, a small finishing detail for men who want a bit of polish without overthinking it. The stripe pattern keeps it versatile, so it works whether you are heading to a wedding, a dinner, or an evening out.

Most of a smart outfit is already sorted with a shirt and jacket. The piece that pulls it together is the accessory at the collar, and a light blue striped bow tie adds a touch of colour that stays easy to match.

Wear it with a plain white or light shirt to let the stripes show, or against a navy jacket for a bit of contrast. It suits both a full suit and a shirt worn on its own for something more relaxed.
