The invention of the bow tie first began with a man named George Bryan “Beau” Brummell, and is a french version of the English classic. Over the years the bow tie has lost some of its fines; not to mention that ties are easier to find and a little bit easier to wear. Just because something is easier to find, doesn’t make it better. Usually bow ties are saved for special occasions, but due to the emergence of bow ties in casual patterns and materials, they are now being used as the true “statement maker.”
I found this on thebowtieclub.com This as a GOOD look, and it makes such a bold statement, without trying too hard..
Flag ties are great because they look good, and they say so much without you having to say anything at all. Flag ties are more of a casual look, not the tie you want to wear to prom. Honestly, you could pair this with a pin-stripped button-up a pair of jeans, Nikes and a fitted hat for a really great urban-geek look. Other great bow tie patterns like plaid and solid colors, can be really casual too.
I found this one at beautiesltd.com. This is such a sexy look. way better than a tie!
