Vintage fashion is certainly making a comeback in so many ways, shapes and forms. We often think of vintage handbags, hats, and shoes for women, without realizing the various classic fashion trends in the men's wardrobe. Consider, the bow tie. It was used as long ago as 17th century, when men needed a way to hold their collars together. Though they began with a very practical purpose, now, they are used more as an accessory to complete a formal outfit.
We generally see the bow tie at important events, such as in weddings, accompanied by tuxedoes, and we've all heard the term "black tie event" to describe something that is supposed to sounds impressive. However, these little scraps of fabric are starting to be welcomed back into society, and we are beginning to see them in all varieties and forms. Bow ties are no longer just solid black or white, but they come in plaid, polka dot, striped and all sorts of prints. They are once again joined with plain white shirts, slacks, and perhaps even suspenders for a classic vintage look that is still endearing today.
Bow ties are a great thing to collect because you will rarely see the same tie twice and you can wear them like art.
We hope to bring the vintage trend to a new
generation.
