Bow Tie Day
National Bow Tie Day, celebrated every August 28th, is a fun and stylish event dedicated to one of fashion’s most distinctive accessories. This day honors the bow tie’s long history, dating back to the 17th century. Over the centuries, the bow tie has become a symbol of elegance and intellect.
The bow tie’s history is as rich and twisted as its knots. Originating in the 17th century from Croatian soldiers, the bow tie has evolved from a practical garment piece to a symbol of intellect and sophistication.
French elites were quick to adopt this style, transforming it into a fashion statement. By the 1800s, the bow tie had become an essential accessory for the cultured gentleman.
