Bowtie `round my neck

Source

Lamar Odom wore a bow tie as part of his Christmas Day ensemble. Many of the reporters were giving him flack, but I appreciate his style. Not too many guys wear bow ties and few can carry the style.

Bow ties are for the formal set. They are usually worn with a tux or suit. While mister and groomsmen will be wearing suits, they are going for a casual look meaning bow ties may be out. The guys are more of the necktie type anyway... but that won't stop me from collecting great inspiration.

Cute polka dot bow tie. It's a bit quirky and I like the color combination.

The tiny design on this purple bow tie provide a good contrast.

I love the paisley pattern of yellows, gold, and cream colors of this tie. This might be my favorite of the bunch.

The dark purple on light purple material give this bow tie depth. The middle knot is a bit too small for my taste.

This is another cute yellow color with fun polka dots :)

I can usually convince the mister to expand his fashion horizons, but the wedding day bow tie may be too much. It's a great fashion trend though.

NY Fashion week and NBA All-Star weekend begins today! This means much too much distraction and plenty of inspiration to come.
