A bow tie is commonly worn for formal events.

For an added touch of class, opt for a bow tie and hanky set, such as the <\/span>Plain Black Hand Made Mens Bow Tie and Handkerchief Set<\/span><\/a>. Alongside a high quality, handmade satin bow tie, a matching satin pocket square offers the perfect way to complete your look.
