Bow Ties With Religious Regalia: Accessorizing Gone Wrong

You know who looks really good in a bow tie?

David Niven.

You know who else looks really good in a bow tie? Stuart, my natty Director of Religious Education. He’s a tall, handsome clean-cut boy from South Dakota and it’s his signature look, with a jacket, on Sunday mornings.

You know what really doesn’t work with a bow tie? A big cross or a big chalice pendant, or any other religious regalia. Whatever the lovely intentions of the wearer, it just looks super goofy. Men, keep it simple. One thing goes around your neck. A tie, a bow tie, OR a piece of jewelry. Not both.

Pass it on.
