What to wear : the bow tie

Our August picnic “What to wear” is the bow tie — a wardrobe accessory any dapper gentlemen can wear to class up date without looking like he’s trying too hard. Seeing a major comeback in men’s fashion, the bowtie is an alternative way to make casual a little less so. Being donned by a more nonconformist group of style setters, it’s just perfect for a romantic Today’s Date or Urban Picnic. And when the proper occasion does come about, we recommend the Pierrepoint Hicks reversible bow ties (pictured above), handmade Forage bowties from the Curiosity Shoppe.

And for those wanting to graduate from the clip-on class, check out this link for how to tie one on.
