Navy & Blue Polka Dot Wool Challis Bow Tie

Beautiful Blue-on-Blue with Polka Dots

Fun and whimsical, polka dots can nevertheless be formal as well when the time is right and the correct colors are in play. We wanted to afford you the greatest latitude for styling when designing this bow tie, so we opted for a very formal shade of navy paired with blue. The result is a bow tie that can be worn up or down the Formality Scale based on the other colors with which it is paired.

When pairing colors with a navy tie that features blue polka dots, you want to choose colors that complement both the classic tone of the navy and a pop of brighter blue.

Pair this bow tie with a crisp white dress shirt and a charcoal gray suit for a classic and sophisticated look. The subtle polka dots add a touch of personality without overwhelming the ensemble, making it suitable for both formal and semi-formal occasions.

For a more relaxed yet polished appearance, consider combining this bow tie with a light blue shirt and a navy blazer. This monochromatic approach creates a cohesive and stylish outfit. Additionally, the bow tie can be paired with a patterned shirt, such as a gingham or striped design, to add visual interest while maintaining a refined look.

Care

Cleaning

Wool challis neckwear should not be washed immersed in water as doing so can ruin the texture and color of the fabric. Instead, spot clean your neckwear 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 wool, such as Woolite.

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 fabric.

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 delicate accessories.

Storage

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

Undo the knot and then roll the necktie 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 neckwear 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.

Parlay the Power of Polka Dots

olka dots have been a mainstay of Classic Menswear since their introduction in the 19th century. Combining whimsy with wonder and daring with dignity, few patterns offer so many opportunities for unique color pairings in an unexpected way.

The beauty of polka dots is how they lend themselves easily to various two and three-color combinations. While white spots help to bring the white of a shirt forward, dots in other colors can help to bridge the various elements of your outfit in creative ways. For example, you could leverage the dots on a tie or pocket square to bring in a harder-to-wear color like yellow.
