National Bow Tie Day
Take your look from ratty to rad by tying it all together with a bow! National Bow Tie Day is dedicated to this underrated accessory.
Bow ties were worn by Croatian mercenaries in the 17th century to help close the necks of their shirts. The French then adopted the look and popularized it in Paris before launching it to the rest of the fashion-conscious world.
Today you can pair a bow tie with jeans for a casual look or keep it classy as part of your formal scheme – either way, you’ll look and feel like a rock star!
