Hello, you over there with the nice shirt but nothing around your neck. Yes, you; you beautiful little male or female caterpillar whom I label affectionately because I want to tell you about something that will transform you into an exquisite butterfly. I’m talking about a bow tie.
Not only is it shaped a little like a butterfly (which don’t let’s dwell on because actual butterflies are sooooo 2009, and you have to stop wearing them right now, especially in your hair) but it also dresses up your shirt instantly and brings the cute like Britney brings the crazy.
Here at I Do Believe I Came with a Hat, we have encouraged our female readers before in the bow tie direction but regardless of your gender, you can definitely benefit from these delightful ties from Forage. Designed by Mr Stephen Loidolt and Miss Shauna Alterio, and sewn in their studio housed in an old tyre factory in Philadelphia, they are available in a range of beautiful fabrics for men and an equally splendid (yet subtly different) range for women.
Not only are bow ties charming, but as Mr Loidolt and Miss Alterio point out, they are also much safer than a dangling neck tie for a butterfly gal or guy on the go. Modestly priced between US$68 and $75, flutter into Forage online and alight on the tie of your choice soon.
