Queer B.O.I.S.
i just bought my very first bowtie! any tips on how to wear it?

First things, First…

Learning how to tie a bowtie.  Depending upon where you purchased your tie, there sometimes is an expert onsite who can give you pointers, tips and tricks.  Take advantage of that service; we think of it as par for the course of the pursuit and purchase of said tie.  

If there is no expert onsite, there is always YouTube.  We found this video extremely helpful, don’t be afraid to stop and restart and keep trying it until you get the look you want.

Another favorite of ours is the loose or open look.  This is achieved by simply wearing the tie, untied but around the neck, one side ever ever so slightly longer than the other. Perhaps choose which ever is your ‘dominant’ side. :-)  

And as always, a bowtie is smart with just about any look.  

Have fun!
