To choose a bow tie, decide on the knot first (pre-tied or self-tie), then the colour and fabric for the occasion. In the Lorenzi Como bow tie collection, every model is silk satin, in black or dark blue, with an adjustable band, at 140 €.
Which bow ties does the Lorenzi Como collection include?
The collection has three models, all cut and sewn by hand in Como from silk satin (100% silk). This summary comes from the product pages.
| Model | Colour | Knot | Fabric | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black silk satin bow tie, pre-tied | Black | Pre-tied | Silk satin | 140 € |
| Black silk satin bow tie, to self-tie | Black | Self-tie | Silk satin | 140 € |
| Dark blue silk satin bow tie, to self-tie | Dark blue | Self-tie | Silk satin | 140 € |
How do you choose the size and shape of a bow tie?
The product pages list an adjustable band on all three models, so the neck size is set with the clasp. The difference in shape lies in the knot: the pre-tied model has a knot built and fixed in the workshop, which keeps its volume and proportions all evening; the self-tie models form the knot on the wearer's neck and keep the small irregularities of a personal knot.
Pre-tied or self-tie?
- Pre-tied: a ready knot, a consistent shape, no steps to perform.
- Self-tie: a more lived-in, personal knot. To learn, see our guide how to tie a bow tie.
Which fabric and colour should you choose?
Every bow tie in the collection is silk satin, a dense fabric with a soft sheen. Black is the classic choice for the evening; dark blue offers a different depth, equally restrained. Each piece can be personalised with up to three embroidered initials at no extra cost.
When should you wear a bow tie?
A bow tie for black tie
The product pages describe the black and dark blue silk satin as suited to a tuxedo or a dark suit, the natural pairing for formal evenings and ceremonies.
A bow tie for a wedding
For an evening or formal ceremony, a dark silk satin bow tie with a dark suit or a tuxedo stays understated. As a general rule, follow the dress code on the invitation.
A bow tie for a cocktail event
For a cocktail or an evening with an elegant dress code, a dark suit with a satin bow tie adds presence without fuss. Choose the self-tie model if you prefer a less rigid look.
