bow-ties
Tuxedo neck adornments
Bow-ties are neckties that form a symmetrical bow at the collar rather than hanging down the chest.
They fasten around the neck with a clip or by tying, and range from formal black silk worn with tuxedos to whimsical patterns that signal a playful personality.
Bow-ties also name the similarly shaped pasta, sometimes called farfalle.
