NECKPIECES

European Ties

A relative newcomer to the Wedding attire scene, Euro ties are instantly recognisable from their very thin knot that billows outwards above and below. Again featuring a small piece of material just long enough to go round the neck, the Euro tie looks great with a winged collar shirt and is an ideal accompaniment to a Nouveau Jacket. Due to the smallness of the knot, a tie pin is not worn with this type of tie.

Bow Ties

A bow tie is instantly associated with class and sophistication and looks superb at a formal Wedding. Giving the appearance of a bow around the neck when tied, both clip-on and tie-your-own varieties are available. Ideally suited to Evening Wear outfits, the bow tie is quintessentially worn with a cummerbund, although it works equally as well with a waistcoat when accompanying a Prince Charlie or Argyll Jacket. Patterned and tartan bow ties are available, but typically plain block colours (red, bottle green, black, white etc.) are the most popular choice and most readily available.
