Many argue that a bow tie is still a more festive garment than a tie. Perhaps they're right. But design and colour can of course invert those interrelationships. A semi-navy wool bow tie such as Sunil for example uses a Chambray like technique, inserting off-white in the navy, leading colour, which gives an slightly rough, animated surface that's at once both distinguished and low-key, permitting both daily and dressed-up use.
