Juanita, In Melbourne Australia, the bow tie is a favourite dress with the law fraternity. I occasionaly wear a bow tie in my classes, from whom I receive compliments. The secret to wearing a bowie is that it needs to be SELF TIED. In our society, it takes guts to wear a bow tie, but why look the same as the world?

Here in Melbourne Australia, a bow tie is often worn by the law fraternity. I on accasions wear a bow tie to which I receive compliments. I think the secret is that you tie the bow yourself, it can add flair to your overall look

Juanita,
I am an image and etiquette consultant in Atlanta and seldom see men wearing bow ties. What’s interesting about bow ties is that they can be both formal and fun.

I’ve only seen professional men wear bow ties, such as attorneys and CPAs. Most of these men are middle-aged and have always worn bow ties. If you read GQ and other male fashionista magazines, you will see a lot of bow ties as well as very avant-guard suits and clothes. However, these clothes cannot be worn in a formal environment. It’s hard enough to make a man wear a tie these days, let alone a bow tie!
Not everyone can wear a bow tie. You have to have the correct face shape. On the right guy, it looks great!

In the corporate environment, I believe the traditional tie is more “powerful” than a bow tie. There are certain environments where the bow tie would be more acceptable as “cool” or “creative”. I am not anti-bow tie, and I think that clothing stores such as Brooks Brothers has great selections, but I would encourage my clients to wear a bow tie with discretion. I agree, Juanita, when sporting a bow tie, you have to work much harder at being viewed as a serious professional.
