Tie one on. Style speaks before you do.
Knots of Confidence
Bow-ties aren’t just accessories—they’re attitude. National Bow-Tie Day, celebrated every August 28th, is the day to embrace your inner elegance, nerd, rebel, or icon. Whether it’s velvet at the gala, paisley at the cookout, or satin with your kicks, the bow-tie is a timeless flex that says one thing: you showed up with intention.
More than just old-school formalwear, bow-ties have evolved into cultural statements. From jazz musicians to professors, politicians to hip-hop heads, and fictional legends like James Bond to IRL disruptors like André 3000 and Mr. Rope himself—rocking a bow-tie means you’ve got something to say without opening your mouth. It’s classic. It’s quirky. It’s savage when styled right.
Vibes
Clean drip. Sharp lines. Bold energy in a simple knot.
