How to Style a Bow Tie

A perfectly symmetrical self-tied bow tie is almost impossible to achieve, and it too closely resembles the artificial appearance of a cheap-looking pre-tied bow tie. Therefore, take advantage of the spontaneity and unique look of a self-tied bow tie by embracing a nonchalant approach.

How so? Intentionally leave one end of the bow tie a little longer than the other, or one side higher than the other, for an organic, sprezzatura-inspired appearance. You can also vary the tightness or looseness of the knot for more formal or casual looks. The result is a bow tie that is definitively styled your way and that will fit your personality.

Timeless Elegance with Unmatched Versatility

Navy blue in classic menswear is a staple color that exudes timeless elegance and versatility. So we made navy blue the centerpiece of this elegant shantung silk tie, brightening it up with the addition of a red, cream and yellow two-tone stripe for adding color coordination. 

Its rich navy blue base, accented with bold red, cream, and yellow stripes, makes it a versatile piece that can elevate both formal and semi-formal outfits.

For a polished look, pair this bow tie with a crisp white dress shirt and a gray or charcoal suit. For a more relaxed yet stylish appearance, consider wearing the bow tie with a light blue or pastel-colored shirt and a blazer in a complementary shade, such as beige or light gray. 

Remember, the key to wearing a statement piece like a shantung silk bow tie is to let it be the focal point of your outfit. Keep other patterns to a minimum to avoid a clash of designs.

Superlative Shantung

Shantung silk is a type of silk fabric renowned for its distinctive, textured surface and refined luster.The fabric is characterized by irregular slubs, or slight knots, which occur randomly throughout the textile, giving it a unique tactile quality and visual interest.

Unlike other smoother silks, shantung silk is woven with threads that have varying thicknesses. This results in the signature slubbed texture that sets it apart from other silk fabrics. The resulting fabric exhibits a crisp drape, making it a popular choice for formal attire, luxurious draperies, and sophisticated interior decorations.

At Fort Belvedere, we have enhanced the distinctive qualities of shantung silk by incorporating finer silk yarn of a contrasting hue, creating an exquisite two-tone combination that captures light and accentuates the texture of the silk, all while maintaining an elegant, non-shiny appearance.

Care

Cleaning

Shantung silk neckwear should not be washed immersed in water as doing so can ruin the texture and color of the silk. Instead, spot clean your tie using the following steps.

Gently blot any excess substance from the stain with a soft, dry cloth. Do not rub as this can damage the fabric.

Fill a small bowl with lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild detergent specifically designed for silk.

Dip a corner of a clean, white cloth into the solution and test it on a hidden area of the neckwear to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.

If the test is successful, lightly dab the stained area with the dampened cloth. Use a gentle tapping motion and do not saturate the silk.

Moisten another clean cloth with plain lukewarm water and gently dab the area to remove any soap residue.

Pat the cleaned area with a dry cloth to absorb moisture, then leave the neckwear laid flat on a towel to air dry completely.

If the stain does not respond to the these steps, take the neckwear to a professional dry cleaner experienced in handling silk garments.

Wrinkle Removal

To remove wrinkles, never iron the neckwear directly as high heat can ruin the silk. Use a steamer or the iron's steam setting while keeping the iron at least a few inches away from the fabric.

Rotation

Silk fibers need to recover after being tied, so rotate your neckwear, allowing them to rest between wears.

Storage

To prevent heavy creasing, never store your neckwear tied or knotted.

Undo the knot and then roll the neckwear up in a firm but not excessively tight coil.

Allow it to sit in the coil for about a day to relax wrinkles.

To prevent wrinkles, store your silk tie hanging, flat, or in a very loose roll.

Simple Adjustable Sizing

Your bow tie has an adjustable neck size, meaning that it can be altered to accommodate your desired fit and comfort.

Simply remove the metal t-bar from the sizing loop and increase or decrease the length of the bow tie as needed, reinserting the bar into the desired slot when you have found your desired size.

What makes this striped shantung silk bow tie so special?

Shantung silk bow ties are renowned for their unique texture, which is characterized by a distinctive ribbed effect that gives them a slightly rough hand. The irregularity of the weave in shantung silk adds to its charm and visual interest.

Shantung silk is known for its resilience and strength, making the bow tie long-lasting and less prone to wear and tear. The natural slubs in the silk provide a tactile quality that is both visually appealing and pleasant to touch. Silk also holds dye well, ensuring that the colors of the stripes remain vibrant over time.

This fabric is woven with a two-toned striped pattern, a timeless look that can convey confidence and professionalism, perfect for business attire or special occasions. A striped pattern can add a touch of elegance to both formal and casual outfits, making it a versatile accessory in any wardrobe

  • Sensational Shantung Silk

    The distinctively pebbled texture of shantung silk, with its iconic knobs, is a mainstay of menswear. At Fort Belvedere, we improved these unique characteristics by adding finer silk yarn in a contrasting color, producing a beautifully rich two-tone pairing that catches the light and emphasizes the silk’s texture without appearing shiny and cheap. Exclusively woven for Fort Belvedere on heritage Italian looms, this shantung is unlike any other shantung in the world. You can rest assured that this fabric cannot be found elsewhere.

  • Classic Diagonal Stripe Pattern

    In the realm of Classic Menswear, striped ties have typically been linked to associations such as clubs or educational institutions, often featuring Repp stripes. The multiple colorways of our diagonal striped ties add to their versatility, allowing them to seamlessly complement both traditional business wear and more relaxed ensembles.

  • Handmade

    Fort Belvedere ties are entirely sewn by hand, which gives them improved flexibility and designs that are functional as well as beautiful. This careful oversight allows us to offer exceptional products typified by the standards of Old World construction.

  • Classic Pointed Ends

    One of the most classic shapes, this bow tie features the pointed ends that were typical for both social and business occasions during the Golden Age of Menswear.

  • Adjustable Sizing

    Our sliding neck-size adjuster was designed to be
    simple and easy to use, so you can achieve a custom fit to your exact
    size with ease. When you are in a rush, you can even unhook the adjuster
    clasp and leave the knot tied for convenience, although, for regular
    wear, we do recommend untying the knot to avoid wrinkles and premature
    wear, and aging.

  • Perfect Bow Tie Size

    When tied, this bow tie has classically proportioned dimensions of approx. 4" by 2" or 10 cm by 5 cm.
