Turning a fashion trend into a wearable piece can be both fun and creative. One of the most timeless and adaptable trends is the bowtie. Bowties have evolved from being a formal accessory to a versatile fashion statement that can be incorporated into casual and quirky looks. Here’s a quick guide on how to transform a regular tie into a stylish bowtie:
Stap 1. Choose Your Tie:
Start by selecting a tie that you think suits best with you’re outfit. It could be a solid color, patterned, or even textured. The wider the tie, the bigger your bowtie will be.
Stap 2. Fold and measure:
hang the tie around your neck in half lengthwise with the front side facing outwards, the wide side on the left and the thin side on the right.
go over the thin straight strip and behind the thick strip (step 1 of the picture) fold the thick strip in half with the end to the right and hold it horizontally (step 2). Now fold the thin strip vertically over your thick loop and fold behind the back (steps 3 & 4). If all goes well you now have a nice tie bow (step 5).
Stap 3. Final Touches:
you can put a as a finishing touch a brooch in the middle of your bow for extra character and diversity.
Tip: Iron the bowtie to ensure it looks crisp and polished.
Voila! You’ve just turned an old tie into a trendy bowtie that’s ready to make a fashion statement. Pair it with a crisp white shirt and a blazer for a classic look, or wear it with a casual shirt for a more laid-back vibe. With a bit of creativity, you can transform any fashion trend into a wearable piece that reflects your personal style.
