Question 1

Pre-tied or self-tie?

Accepted Answer

Self-tie gives a slightly imperfect shape that reads more authentic, and it stays put once tied. Pre-tied is faster and holds a consistent shape, which matters across a long event.

Question 2

What colour bow tie for a wedding?

Accepted Answer

Black for formal black tie. For a groom at a Malaysian wedding, matching the bow tie to the wedding palette or the bride's colours is common and appropriate.

Question 3

Does a bow tie need a wing collar?

Accepted Answer

No. A spread collar works well with a bow tie and is more versatile. Wing collars are reserved for the most formal black and white tie occasions.

Question 4

How do I tie a self-tie bow tie?

Accepted Answer

It is tied the same way as a shoelace. Practise a few times before the event and expect the first two attempts to look wrong. Slightly asymmetric is correct.

Question 5

Can I wear a bow tie without a jacket?

Accepted Answer

At a formal event, no. A bow tie is part of a complete formal outfit. In casual or creative settings it can work as a deliberate style choice.

Question 6
