If you wear a bow tie, you're automatically going to stand out from the rest of the crowd.  Most men these days are so afraid to wear a tie of any kind at all unless they have no escape or alternative.  I hate it but it's a fact.  You see bow ties sometimes that are loud, garish, too flashy, too girly and frilly, but this is a very tasteful and beautiful tie.  It has clean lines and it's bold without jumping out at the observer.  I wear it with a yellow Oxford, with either green or khaki pants and it's always well received with lots of compliments.  Don't be afraid to dress nicely, Gentlemen!  Your lady will certainly appreciate it and if someone has heartburn with the fact that you're more nicely attired than they, you can refer them to the TieBar, so they can begin to man-up their wardrobe also.
