Why wear a bow tie with a collarless shirt?

A collarless shirt is a blank canvas for any outfit you want to create. As a style that is meant to be casual and easy, it doesn’t have a lot of structure and detail, which is why it pairs well with a bow tie. The bow tie is a classic menswear accessory that adds a little bit of pattern and texture without competing with the shirt for attention. This is especially helpful if you’re dressing up to interview for a job, attend a work function or need to wear a uniform. Bow ties are not formal or professional, but they are a great way to inject personality into your outfit without being overly dramatic. They are a perfect way to show off your creative and fun-loving side while still being appropriate for the occasion.

How to pull off the look correctly

There are a few things to keep in mind when wearing a bow tie with a collarless shirt. Firstly, make sure that the bow tie is loose enough that it doesn’t poke out from underneath the collar of your shirt. If there is too much fabric pooled around the neck, it can make the collarless shirt look a little too formal and make the bow tie look like an afterthought. Secondly, make sure that the collarless shirt is not too long. The shirt should not be so long that it covers the bow tie when you tuck it in, nor should it be so long that it covers up the top part of the bow tie. It’s best to wear a collarless shirt that is between one and one and a half inches above the beltline. This will keep the shirt from overpowering your outfit and the bow tie from looking like a mistake.

Rock out with a Rolling Stones button-down

For a little rock and roll vibes to your collarless shirt, try a Stones-inspired rock and roll shirt. The classic design is already casual and easy with a bit of a twist thanks to its button-down style. Some collarless shirts are made with the button-down design, so you can combine the two into one casual but well-styled look. Keep the rest of your outfit casual to avoid overdoing it. A simple pair of black pants and leather shoes or a pair of dark-colored jeans and a pair of stylish sneakers is all you need for a complete look.

Go for velour with a twist

Velour is one of those fabrics that has such a subtle pattern that you wouldn’t notice it at first glance. It makes a great casual collarless shirt because it is soft, yet structured and masculine. The best part is that velour comes in many different colours and patterns. You can match the shirt to your existing accessories or go for a bolder pattern to accentuate the bow tie. Imagine pairing a dark purple bow tie with a bold pink and purple velour shirt. It’s sure to get some attention!

Stick with solids for slimming accuracy

Dark, solid colours make for a slimming look that accentuates your best features. Try a dark navy blue, charcoal grey or black collarless shirt to draw attention to your waist and make you look more streamlined. If you’re wearing a darker shirt, you can make the bow tie pop by wearing a lighter coloured one. Try a pastel blue, salmon pink or mint green bow tie to keep the focus on your face and off your midsection.

Summing up

Bow ties are quirky and fun, but they can be tricky to wear. A collarless shirt is a great way to show off your personality while still looking professional and being appropriate for almost any occasion. When worn correctly, a collarless shirt and bow tie can be a great way to inject some personality into your outfit while still looking professional. Be sure to keep the bow tie loose enough that it doesn’t poke out from underneath the collar of the shirt and choose a dark, solid colour to make it look slimmer.
