Sometimes, our store holds promotions in which we give our customers various gifts, including stylish butterflies.
Well, I have noticed that many who decide to take advantage of the offer are lost when it comes to choosing a butterfly.
And this is quite understandable, because the choice of either a tie, and those that will be stylishly combined with clothes, is not a very simple matter.
And if a person acquires an unsuitable bow tie, then he may not like it and he will not wear it ...
Or, even worse, he will wear it, but instead of elegance and style, the butterfly will give his image an absurdity. (By the way, I am sure that for this very reason many menafraid to wear a bow tie and have never even tried ittry on)
So, to begin with, I will write a few words about when to wear butterflies.
It is important to remember here that men's butterflies appeared as an alternative to ties and symbolize a "challenge" of everyday life and generally accepted rules and norms in clothing.
Therefore, people who wear butterflies emphasize their individuality, self-confidence and independence from the opinions of others.
This means that the bow tie can be worn in any environment and with any clothes, and not just for special occasions.
The next thing to consider is - color, type and material of the butterfly.
The combination of colors is a rather large topic, and there is a lot to write about it, so I will not delve into it now, but will share only the main rules.
- The most reliable option is a black butterfly.
- Black color goes well with any color and is appropriate in any setting.
- The color of the bow tie should be darker than the shirt.
- When choosing a colored butterfly, you must make sure that the color will match the color of the clothes or accessories. (The opposite is also possible, when the color of the butterfly strongly contrasts with the color of the clothes.)
- Colors such as red, blue and green go well with a white shirt.
If you talk about the material, then it's important here, so that the material of the butterfly is the same or similar to the material of the clothing.
It is also worth paying attention to the type of butterfly. There are butterflies that you need to tie with your hands yourself (like a tie), and there are already tied ones that are only adjustable in length. Ready-made butterflies are more comfortable to wear, but self-tied ones always look more stylish and elegant.
Another important tip: always try on a butterfly.
In addition to the combination of colors and clothes, the butterfly should be in harmony with your appearance and overall image.
And the last and most important rule: experiment.
Don't be afraid to try various options. Good way to quickly develop your sense of style is to test different combinations of clothes in practice.
This also works with the choice of butterflies. Just take and try on all the options and see which one is the most harmonious with your appearance.

A bow tie is an integral part of an elegant, stylish man's wardrobe. A man in a bow tie corresponds to the image of a gallant gentleman who attracts the eyes of others. Wearing a bow tie is a whole art, which, fortunately, is not difficult to master. It is enough to know how to choose the right butterfly and what to combine it with. If earlier a bow tie was worn exclusively with a tailcoat or a tuxedo, now this accessory can be successfully combined with other clothes, provided that your image looks harmonious overall. Today I will talk about which bow ties fit the classic men's suit.
Where is a bow tie appropriate?
The time of London dandies and lords are in the distant past, and the bow tie has not lost its charm and charm. Although, for sure, many of you have already wondered where to go in a suit with a butterfly. The most common are solemn events - weddings, anniversaries and other holidays. A suit with a butterfly will also be appropriate at any social event - a concert, exhibition, film premiere. You will also look great in a suit with a butterfly in a restaurant next to your companion or business partners. In a bow tie you will always look stylish.
Now many world famous brands of men's clothing offer a wide range of butterflies that can be worn not only for official celebrations, but also in Everyday life, say, if you want to diversify your office business style. Shirts with a butterfly collar, the edges of which are bent at an angle of 45 degrees, are also produced specially for a butterfly. It is not difficult to buy such a shirt.
How to choose a butterfly?
Butterflies come in different sizes. The maximum length of the edges is up to 8 cm. I recommend choosing not too small, but not too large. A small one will simply not be noticeable on you, so you risk spoiling the image. And too large will distract attention or even look comical. Remember that a butterfly should complement your look. Therefore, correlate the size of the butterfly with your body type and face shape. So for thin and slender guys, you can choose a small butterfly, and for chubby men of a dense physique, I recommend choosing wider options. There is one way that will allow you to understand whether the butterfly suits you in width. Mentally draw two parallel straight lines down from the outer corners of the eyes - approximately this width should be your butterfly.
The material from which the butterfly is made is different, but most often it is polyester, silk, satin. There are woolen and cotton options. Here I recommend giving preference to non-natural fabrics. They do not wrinkle, keep their shape perfectly, so they will be a more practical option.
It is better to give preference to already tied butterflies, and even better if it is a bow tie with fasteners and a length regulator. These models are the most convenient, so you can easily pick up an accessory for the size of the gate. However, do not forget that when you wear a bow tie, all fasteners and elastic bands should be under the collar, make sure that nothing sticks out anywhere.
You can buy a butterfly, which you need to tie yourself. This is much more difficult to do than with a tie, but a little practice and you will succeed. If you wish, you can study the illustration, where everything is clearly shown in the diagram. Which option you prefer is up to you. The main thing is that the butterfly should be tied evenly, neatly and look symmetrical. In addition to the self-tie butterfly (or the self-tie), which is a ribbon, and the pre-tied bow tie with a clasp (the pre-tied), there is a third type - the clip-on bow tie. The latter option is generally devoid of any ribbon and is attached to the shirt collar with a metal fastener located on the reverse side. More often, such butterflies are bought for children, but they are also sold for adults.
There are several types of bow ties. For a classic suit, a butterfly with straight ends and pointed corners is suitable. Both of these options are intended for special occasions. But a butterfly with straight ends is a more formal option.
How to choose a butterfly for a suit?
Butterfly should be in harmony with the costume. Therefore, for the classics, do not choose too colorful colors and a bright pattern. Everything should be restrained and elegant. The most formal option: a black suit, black shoes, a white shirt and a black bow tie. With a white shirt and a black suit, in principle, butterflies of any color will look advantageous. The main thing is that it should be appropriate. When choosing a bright option, think about whether your outfit will match the occasion.
In general, a tie should always be matched to a certain shirt or shirt. And in the case of a bow tie, the basic principle is the same: the bow tie should be darker than the shirt. That is, colored butterflies can be worn not only with white shirts, but also with colored ones that are similar in tone to a butterfly. For example, a burgundy butterfly is suitable for a pink shirt, blue for a blue shirt, etc.
If you like to wear striped or plaid shirts, it is better to choose a butterfly in a solid color, or it should be with the same print as on the shirt. This option will be less formal, so try to make your look appropriate for the occasion.
Traditionally, preference is given to butterflies of discreet shades: white, milky, blue, peach. Butterfly white color most often worn under black or gray shirt. Some prefer "white on white" - when the shirt and bow tie are the same color. This image also has the right to exist.
In general, these are all the main points that you should keep in mind when choosing a butterfly. For official and solemn meetings, this piece of clothing will be very appropriate, you will look attractive and stylish. When choosing a bow tie for and be guided, first of all, by your own taste. Don't be afraid of bold combinations, so you will attract attention and admiring glances. But remember the main rule when creating any image - do not overdo it. Butterfly is such an element of clothing that not everyone can wear. If you are more comfortable in, you can safely give preference to him. Good luck with your experiments!
