Red & Blue Stripe Bow Tie

This bow tie is where “classic stripes” meet just enough attitude. Bands of red, blue, and light blue run across the bow in a clean stripe pattern that looks sharp under a navy suit and surprisingly fun with lighter tailoring. It’s bright enough to stand out, controlled enough to wear to a boardroom cocktail hour.

Wear it as a self-tie when you want that slightly imperfect, personal knot, or pick the pre-tied version when you’re getting ready in hotel lighting before the reception. Finish the look with the matching striped pocket square for a clean, coordinated setup, or pair it with the light blue and red plaid square when you want a little pattern-on-pattern contrast.

Why You’ll Love It

• Color that works hard – Red and blues that look strong in daylight and even better under evening lights.

• Flexible personality – Reads classic with a dark suit, playful with lighter jackets.

• Self-tie or pre-tied – Choose the ritual or the shortcut—both still look intentional.

• Pocket square options that make sense – Match for a polished feel or go plaid when you’re in the mood for something bolder.
