While somewhat true, they're generally better dressers than typical hetero bros, so this could be a meaningless stat.

I throw a bow tie in the mix every so often. I'm confident enough wearing it and also know how to wear them....


Sorry y'all lack any style

I wear them everyday except Friday. I started wearing them because they look good and aren't spill magnets like neck ties. I get complimented while wearing them everyday so

(Ignoring the obvious-tuxedo) If you aren't an older man, I'd say that you are trying too hard.

I think they're classy in the right setting with a nice suit.

What has killed the reputation of the bow tie IMO are the guys wearing them with jeans and a sports coat going out to the local bars on a Fri night. Yes, that's trying too hard IMO.

But whatever, to each their own, I don't expect everyone to like what I wear.

These guys universally condemn anything that their grandpa was against. They live in the mind box of the past.

ya exactly. these dudes that wear them with anything other than a suit are clowns.

slacks and a button up= nope
slacks and a button up and a vest from a 3 piece= frick nope
any pairing with jeans = especially nope

I think they can look OK with slacks and a blazer.
