Bow Ties: Do it like the French
The humble bow tie has its history dating all the way back to the 17th century. Croatian mercenaries first started to wrap a loosely fit tie around their necks to keep their shirts closed. This also helped to protect soldier’s necks from cold wind and rain. King Louis liked their uniforms, the tie in particular, so much that he adopted it and made it a required piece of fashion accessory for the upper class during formal functions. This fashion trend flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries. It also served as a sign to distinguish between classes; they were a symbol for affluence and sophistication.
