Simply pair a white shirt and black work pants with a loosely fastened <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiesrus.co.uk\/red-t11\">red tie<\/a>, and make your own red cardboard name badge. Splatter yourself in fake blood and you have yourself a costume fit for a zombie apocalypse.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Doctor Who &#8211; the Eleventh Doctor<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G8g5BrLm7uQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There is one accessory that simply screams \u2018The Eleventh Doctor\u2019, and that is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiesrus.co.uk\/bow-ties-c20\">bow tie<\/a>. Matt Smith\u2019s Doctor favoured a burgundy red or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiesrus.co.uk\/bow-ties-c20\/blue-t2\">blue bow tie<\/a> paired with a pale shirt (white, pale blue or very pale pink is perfect), dress pants, suspenders and a tweed jacket. Throw in a sonic screwdriver and you\u2019re good to go &#8211; and remember, bow ties are definitely cool!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Charlie Chaplin<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-nUptPWbE88\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Thinking of channeling the great Charlie Chaplin this Halloween? We think the iconic \u2018Tramp\u2019 look is perfect for anyone looking for a classically cool costume. Mismatching is key for this look. Choose clashing colours such as a bold red and white <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiesrus.co.uk\/ties-c1\/polka-dot-t17\">polka dot tie<\/a> or cravat with a bright yellow waistcoat, and make sure your trousers, jacket and shoes are suitably ill fitting for the comedy effect. A bowler hat, cane, moustache and a touch of eyeliner will provide the perfect Chaplin-esque finishing touches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Men in Black<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aLRVpAa_GOU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This is another outfit that you probably already have sitting around in your wardrobe. A simple black suit and white shirt is all you need &#8211; pair with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiesrus.co.uk\/ties-c1#t27:t1\">skinny black tie<\/a> and sunglasses and you\u2019re all set. Of course if you want to complete the look in true style you\u2019ll need some \u201cbig guns\u201d &#8211; these blasters can be bought online or made at home if you\u2019re feeling crafty!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Mary Poppins<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vLkp_Dx6VdI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And finally, one for the ladies! Another character who favours a classic bow tie look is Mary Poppins. Choose a bright <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiesrus.co.uk\/bow-ties-c20\/red-t11\">red bow tie<\/a> teamed with a white shirt, black skirt, blue jacket and black hat with a flower garland. For the authentic Mary Poppins look, carry an umbrella and doctors bag. Pop on some red lippie and there you have it &#8211; practically perfect in every way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Halloween just around the corner, here at Ties R Us we thought we\u2019d take a look at some fantastic costume ideas involving our favourite accessory &#8211; the tie!
