Bow ties

Right now I love bow ties. More than ever. I have loved them longtime.

And, because I have to start wearing 'business attire' on a daily basis, I'm happy to see you can buy them for the female of the species.

Should I buy the tie?

This would certainly help me tie my bow.

Take a bow, humble bow tie.

    Oh please don't. I had a guy who used to work for me who would torment me by wearing a bowtie to work every Wednesday. This may be why I like to take Wednesdays off when I can. A lasting scar:)

    Just make sure it doesn't fall off when you have to 'bow' to the judge in the courtroom.

    Seriously, I love them especially on chicks!

    So, it seems no one but Pam is a fan of the bow tie. You're all just too polite not to say so ... except for the woman from Canberra!

    oh Yes... what a great touch to a nice, plain, Business Suit (skirt or pants), crisp white shirt (ironed of course!!!!), and a Bow Tie in a cheeky colour/pattern... definitely a Yes.

    Seperate to Kerry, i'm also from Canberra & well, atleast when my husband wears a bowtie he actually ties it properly!! When i was at Uni & working part time at a telecommunications company, i had to work opposite a guy who refused to wear the 'business attire tie' so he wore a collection of bowties, worthy of my string of professors, i could not escape them!! Argh!! That bowtie would look neat with a business suit & clogs, don't stop at plaits either, love Posie

    The husband always wears a bow tie on Christmas Eve. I know not why. Go for it! (Maybe you should get the job first and then show up wearing the tie!)

    I remember the stash of bowties my mom bought for my younger brother in the 1950s. She must have loved them as much as you do.

    I have a positive for the notion of wearing a bow tie.
    Presumably, if one wears a bow tie, a cleavage is out of the question.
    And , no matter which way you look at that (ie the cleavage), it has no place in the working world of which you will be part.

    There is something very Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz about this tie. I do not know why. Zesting up business attire any way you can is a good thing. Do you have an apron with a suit and tie printed on the front. I think it would be a fine thing to stride into the courtroom, sleeves rolled up , crisp apron flapping in the air con. "Your honour, I am here to clean up!"

    I rather like a bow tie, though mostly on a woman. The only time a man should wear a ( hand-tied)bow tie is with a dinner jacket. Or possibly a 1930s vintage 'gangster' striped suit in which case the tie should be white over a black shirt. In my heyday I used to wear a bow tie instead of a necklace with a slinky DJ trouser suit. No blouse of course. A cotton checked one would look cute but a bit too Doris Day in my view. A black one with white shirt and very tailored suit would scare the wits out of the opposition MMMC. Law and 'cute' don't compute. Just saying...

    I was thinking, you might be better off buying the penny-farthing bike for work.
    You will need to be noticed.
    One other thing.
    Annie, you don't have an apron fetish do you?

    If it makes you happy go for it. A big smile and a little bow is all you need.

    How about teaming it with some spats and you can be a dandy lady lawyer. Remember to say "What ho!" when you enter a room.
