That between a bow tie<\/strong> and a shirt <\/strong>represents an elegant pairing<\/strong> to be shown off in the ceremonies<\/strong><\/a> most important: a must for the perfect outfit of those who want to appear as a protagonist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

The bow tie, which was initially created for rather formal looks, has currently become a real accessory capable of marrying best on numerous types of shirts<\/strong>. Combinations that in order to shine need to fit perfectly with the style of the man who prefers it. Whatever the preferred declination, when choosing to wear the bow tie over a dress shirt, it is essential to pay attention to many aspects: from the model to the colors<\/strong>, passing through the pattern and other significant details.<\/strong> But no problem, we at Musani<\/strong><\/a> will be able to provide you with valuable advice<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

An exclusive pairing: bow tie and shirt for men<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is the most appropriate shirt for wearing a bow tie<\/strong>? Or is it better to choose the latter depending on the former? Let’s answer right away to make the search easier: the shirt for bow tie needs a specific collar<\/strong>. As far as collars<\/strong> are concerned, avoid Korean collars<\/strong>. Then pay special attention to the size of the collar: the points<\/strong> should absolutely not stick out from under the bow tie. Getting more specific about the choice of pattern, if the shirt is patterned<\/strong> it would be better if the bow tie is plain or exactly the opposite. If you are already an expert in matching and love to show off whimsical looks<\/strong>, preferably on less formal occasions, you can also combine multiple patterns, always maintaining consistency<\/strong> in your choices and combinations. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

When to wear a bow tie?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned earlier, the bow tie was created to be worn on occasions whereelegance is a must.<\/strong> In fact, originally, the bow tie was worn exclusively with a tuxedo<\/strong>. Now it can also be used as a classy accessory both during the day and in the evening, in an elegant or casual<\/strong> version. The important thing is not to wear it without a jacket; that would be too obvious a mistake. Therefore, this does not exclude the possibility of combining it with sweaters(without precisely replacing the jacket<\/em>), vests<\/strong><\/a> or cardigans. One should also ask oneself, “When not to wear a bow tie<\/em>?” The answer is simple: on all those occasions where it is better not to draw excessive attention to yourself. A university exam<\/strong>, an interview<\/strong> or a business meeting<\/strong>. At all other events, ceremonies or occasions, we guarantee you will make a splash! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Shirt color: how to choose it?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An essential and unavoidable element in the use of bow tie and shirt is undoubtedly the evaluation of colors.<\/strong> It is necessary not to exaggerate by making style mistakes<\/strong>, assuming that a very colorful shirt<\/strong> does not always allow the aid of a bow tie. All the more reason to avoid wearing bow tie and shirt of the same color<\/strong>, but above all, do not wear fancy shirts! The most basic rule to apply is to place on a single-colored shirt<\/strong> a patterned bow tie<\/strong> or, why not, vice versa! The important thing, as we always say, is to find a balance that can simultaneously satisfy your tastes but also not expose you to excessive eccentricity<\/strong> in public. Or simply being out of place. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Shirt and bow tie: how best to combine them<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with a classic, the white shirt<\/strong>, which has always been simple (in appearance) <\/em>to match. In this case we recommend the “traditional” blue<\/strong> and black<\/strong>, but also pastel shades<\/strong> such as red<\/strong>. If you like to wear a blue shirt<\/strong>, then you have a wide margin of choice, as it is a color that goes excellently with numerous declinations<\/strong>. Otherwise with blue<\/strong> it is best to avoid yellow and red. Instead, nice combinations with some derivative shades<\/strong>, such as gold, ochre, burgundy and orange. Certainly, never mundane. As for the black shirt<\/strong>, you can consider brighter colors<\/strong> that, superimposed on the matte tone, give pleasant shiny effects. Finally, a tip for the gray shirt<\/strong>. It can look particularly elegant when paired with black, but also with brown, blue and purple. However, avoid pairing it with lighter tones. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
