Every gentleman needs to know how to tie the perfect bow tie, particularly in the festive season.  It’s that time of year when you get invited to fancy Christmas parties by family, friends and colleagues. Try doing the classic knot with our guide below: 

 
STEP ONE
Bow Tie 1

Begin with the bow tie lying faceup. Adjust so the left side is shorter than the right side. Move the longer end to the left side, across the shorter end.
STEP TWO
Bow Tie 2

Bring that same longer end under the shorter end and up through the neck loop.
STEP THREE
Bow Tie 3

At the joint, fold the shorter end towards the left and then towards the left to create the bow shape.
STEP FOUR
Bow Tie 4

Bring the longer end straight down over the middle of the bow shape.
 
 
STEP FIVE

Bow Tie 5

Fold the longer end back towards the chest and pinch the fold.
STEP SIX

Bow Tie 6

Push the pinched end through the loop behind the bow.
STEP SEVEN

Bow Tie 7

Pull on the folded parts of the bow to tighten.
 
STEP EIGHT

Bow Tie 8

Adjust until balanced on both sides. You now have a completed bow tie done in classic knot. 
 
 


Christmas Party Edit 


Style One: Formal Christmas Dinner 

As the season of soirees approaches us, it makes it the perfect time to invest in a stylish and sophisticated formal attire. Our first look features our iconic White Marcella Dress Shirt, which has been cut generously across the shoulders and chest. It comes with mother of pearl buttons on a ribbon strip, which can conveniently be removed for those who prefer to wear studs. The Harvie and Hudson cutaway collar leaves the ideal space for a bow tie. Our stylist consultant recommends to pair our shirt with our timeless Navy Velvet Jacket and its matching waistcoat. To finish the look, wear our Black Dinner Suit Trousers, which also has its matching jacket. However, our black trousers are verstaile and can be worn with other clothing from our collection. 

Remember the key is to invest in quality, versatile staples that can be worn in different ways to create flexible outfits.
