I’ll probably catch some flack from my fellow bloggers, but I couldn’t resist posting this tweed bow tie from Urban Outfitters that I ran across while looking for Christmas presents on the UO website. This is tie great because it could essentially go with anything and is sort of an everyman’s bow tie – it provides an unassuming upgrade to your outfit in neutral color that works with both patterned shirts (as pictured) and plain shirts. The tweed could be dressed up or dressed down – wear it with a three piece suit or a simple button-up. It was also in the gift section for under $20, which makes it a deal whether or not you buy it for yourself or for someone else. 🙂

Is the bow tie pre-tied? It kind of looks like it might be in the picture.
It is pre-tied, hence the comment about flack from my fellow bloggers. 😉
So clearly you know that I’m a big fan of knowing how to tie a bow tie, but if starting with clip-ons helps you to get into wearing bow ties, then I’m all about it. (and I love the tweed!)
