OH SNAP. Nice.

I guess a guy wearing a tie that features pigs wearing bowties is appealing to someone somewhere, but ew. I am, however, kind of tempted to dress my black lab (although he's a mix) in a tie that features black labs wearing ties, because, well, that would almost be funny.

Also, even I would be tempted to kick someone in the face for saying HABERDASHERY.

Lily Pulitzer also has some lovely alternatives.

There are only three times in a man's life when it's acceptable for him to be wearing a bowtie.

When he's a groom:

When he's this man:

And when he's this man:

I actually have a sundress that matches it perfectly.

Oh and there is one thing that all of yall have forgotton that people wear in the north and that is the dreaded JORTS hahaha

by the way go check out the websiteSouthern Proper

Yes, I have a few bowties and neckties from Southern Proper. They don't sell them anywhere in Texas, but I picked up some in Tuscaloosa.

Southern Proper and Vineyard Vines ties gained notoriety because they were worn by countless numbers of Senators, The President, John Kerry, Clinton, and members of state Governments. Go to the websites and you can find pictures. I guess they MUST be gay if all of them are wearing them. Sorry. You probobly do think they are ugly though. I'm also sure you like your guy wearing flat front khakis, square toed shoes, and a vertical striped Bananna Repblic shirt.

Rudith, you need to stay out of this thread or you might end up in some sort of messed up southern bow tie all guy threesome.

Lilly Pulitzer ties are to be worn on very special or specific situations. Allways in the summer or spring...and to out door events such as clam bakes, garden parties, etc. Yes, the designs and colors are a little outrageous, and that is why you can only get away with them at certain times. They go well with the Southern belle that is on your right arm wearing a sundress and pearls.

Find a pic of one of the people you mentioned wearing one, please, I dare you.

My husband doesn't really go for the preppy style. At all.

And just for the record, I live in Charlotte, NC.

Lol -- a lot of ppl in NC and SC don't consider Charlotte "Southern" though. They think of it like Florida -- a piece of the North that broke off and landed somewhere random.

There is a link to VV. Is Howard Dean , Kerry, Bush Sr. Michael Bloomberg, Giuliani, etc. good enough for you?

www.southernproper.com

Just go there and look up pictues. I know for sure there is a Georgia Senator and others wearing their ties. Thanks for playing.

And there is a difference between being fratty and being preppy. When you think of preppy, you should get an image of some socialite family in Connecticut playing lawn tennis with sweaters and flipped up collars (yes it is actually acceptable in some parts of the country......but Abercrombie and Hollister ruined it.) I am not particularly fond of the preppy style either.
