Self-tie or pre-tied bows?

I bet that I am not the only one who would normally have a dilemma as to whether wear a self-tie OR ready-tied bow, maybe for a number of practical reasons.

Wearing a ready tied bows would spare you from recalling the step by step way of doing it the way your best friend or dear uncle taught you on your prom, more so in finding time to watch how to's videos in the web. :-) But others would still prefer wearing a self-tie bow as others claim that ready tied bows are usually considered something of a faux pas (I hardly can tell honestly).  Wearing self-tie bows may not be a norm though especially nowadays. 

This is a satin-bow from Burberry. 

This is adjustable so it ensures that its wearer can breathe freely. LOL

I think, there are occasions where wearing a self-tie bow would even make you look and feel special such as weddings, graduations and like attending a dreamer's all-star studded party:-) So when this happens, or if you will ever find yourself being the best man on your best friend or brother's wedding, you may not want to disappoint the groom and be of help instead. LOL

Including this illustrated step-by-step guide on how to tie a bow would definitely comes handy.

This seems intimidating, actually its way fun and easy.

It is undeniably easier to wear a ready tied bow but having been able to learn how to wear a self-tie bow is a valuable knowledge that every man should know... by heart, and to make things a bit more special.:-)

Perhaps, wearing a self-tie bow would give more confidence to the man behind that classic wool-silk tuxedo suit? :-)


Cheers!
