Red & Royal Blue Horse Racing Bow Tie with Jockey Motif

A classic equestrian motif gives this bow tie a distinctive sporting character. Small horse-and-jockey figures repeat across rich red and royal blue backgrounds, with white accents in the jockey details adding definition to the pattern. The compact scale keeps the design orderly while still making the racing theme immediately recognizable.

Available in both self-tie and pre-tied styles, this bow tie works well for race-day events, equestrian gatherings, weddings, dinners, and other occasions where a patterned accessory can carry a little personality. Choose it on its own, add a matching pocket square, or pair it with an accenting square that complements the colors without repeating the same motif.

Why You’ll Love It

• Distinctive equestrian design: Repeating horse-and-jockey motifs give the bow tie a clear racing-inspired identity.
• Two strong color options: Red offers a warmer, more expressive look, while royal blue provides a cooler and more traditional alternative.
• Self-tie or pre-tied: Choose the bow tie style that best fits your preference and routine.
• Easy to coordinate: The compact motif leaves plenty of room to pair it with simple shirts, solid suits, and contrasting pocket square patterns.

What to Wear With This Bow Tie

Shirt recommendations: A white dress shirt gives both colorways the cleanest contrast and makes the jockey pattern stand out clearly. Pale blue works especially well with the royal blue version, while a very light gray shirt can create a quieter pairing with either option. For the red version, ivory is another useful choice when you want a slightly warmer look.

Suit recommendations: Navy suits work particularly well with both the red and royal blue versions. Charcoal provides a neutral background that lets the pattern remain the focus, while medium gray creates a lighter outfit for daytime events. For outdoor or equestrian-themed gatherings, tan or beige tailoring can also work, especially with brown shoes.

Shoe recommendations: Dark brown Oxfords or Derbies pair naturally with navy and tan suits. Black cap-toe Oxfords suit charcoal or medium-gray tailoring when the occasion is more formal. For a less formal daytime setting, brown loafers work well with beige or lighter gray suits.

Matching & Accenting Pocket Square Recommendations

Matching pocket square: Choose the matching square to repeat the bow tie’s horse-and-jockey design for a coordinated set. A straight fold keeps the repeated motif contained and polished.

For an accenting pocket square, consider these patterned combinations:

Navy with small white polka dots: This works especially well with the red bow tie, giving you contrast in both color and pattern while keeping the overall palette classic.

White with red and blue floral details: A small floral print can connect with both colorways without repeating the equestrian motif. This is a particularly useful option for weddings and daytime events.

Royal blue paisley with red and ivory accents: Curved paisley shapes contrast with the small horse motif, while the shared colors create a natural connection.

Cream with small burgundy and navy geometric medallions: The warmer cream background softens the look, while burgundy and navy echo the stronger tones in the bow tie.

Pattern-pairing tip: Because the bow tie already has a compact repeating motif, choose a pocket square with either larger motifs or more open spacing so the two patterns do not compete.

Best Events & Occasions

This horse racing bow tie is a natural fit for Kentucky Derby parties, race-day gatherings, equestrian events, charity galas, weddings, anniversary dinners, and cocktail receptions. It can also work for business-social events where a more distinctive bow tie feels appropriate.

The red version brings more warmth and contrast, while the royal blue version offers a cooler, more traditional appearance.
