Bow ties are an essential accessory in every gentleman’s wardrobe. The only acceptable choice for tuxedos, they also offer a stylish alternative to ties with other suits. Our collection of men’s bow ties features both self-tie and convenient pre-tied options, ensuring the perfect fit and finish for any occasion.
Bow ties are the only appropriate neck piece for tuxedos and they’re an essential element of the black tie dress code. However, many gentlemen use them as an alternative to ties with other types of suits to elevate them into a more formal outfit.
This depends on the colour of your suit and any other accessories you’ll be wearing. Black is a classic, and safe, option but a bow tie in a bold colour is a great way to align to an event’s theme or make a bold statement.
In formalwear, it’s important not to overload your outfit. If you’re wearing a 3 piece suit, cufflinks and studs are enough to create an immaculate look. Without a waistcoat, you can match your bow tie to a cummerbund.
In the traditional black tie dress code, black bow ties are matched with a white pocket square in presidential fold. If you’re going for a more adventurous look, you can match the colour of your bow tie to your pocket square’s palette. Our bow ties come with a matching pocket square to make the pairing easier for you.

Borja Lorente Escobar5 October 2026I was very nervous about finding a suit for my wedding, but I was so glad to have found Aristocracy London! From the moment we stepped into the shop, the wonderful staff just helped us, reassured us, and cheered us to find the perfect match. The personal attention and experience of Alexander, Adam and Fragkos turned a stressful experience into a delightful adventure. And the suits themselves are unique, wonderful, and extremely dapper of course!
Viraj Kelkar5 October 2026A great place for exquisite suits. They have a very varied collection and you'll likely find something you love. The staff is great, Fragkos and Alexander in particular were very courteous, friendly, and helpful. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey, but it's worth it if you want to make a special occasion extra special.
