Handmade in Como, Italy, Serà Fine Silk bow ties come in pure silk satin, grosgrain and moiré, in silk velvet for the colder months and in wool for a more relaxed look. Choose between butterfly, classic and slim shapes, in pre-tied and self-tie versions, for black-tie events, weddings and any occasion that calls for a little more elegance.
A self-tie bow tie is the traditional choice: you tie it by hand, and the slightly irregular knot is part of its charm. A pre-tied bow tie is ready to wear, with an adjustable strap and hook fastening, and always looks neat. New to tying one? Our guide to tying a bow tie covers the basics.
For a dinner suit, a black bow tie is the classic rule. The ideal black tie bow tie matches the lapels of your tuxedo: a black silk satin bow tie for satin lapels, a grosgrain bow tie for grosgrain lapels. Moiré, with its watermark texture, is a quietly distinctive alternative. Our complete guide to the black tie dress code explains every detail.
The butterfly bow tie is the fullest shape and suits most faces and collars; for a bolder look, our Extra Big styles offer an oversized bow tie silhouette. The classic is a little narrower and more understated, while the slim bow tie has a modern, minimal profile that works well with narrow lapels. Not sure which one suits you? Read our guide to bow tie shapes.
A white bow tie or a navy bow tie brings personality to summer celebrations, and makes an ideal wedding bow tie for the groom; our groom’s guide to wedding day style has ideas for the big day. In autumn and winter, a burgundy velvet bow tie adds warmth to a festive dinner (see our guide to velvet bow ties), and our wool bow ties pair naturally with tweed and flannel.
Bow tie and suspenders are the classic black-tie pairing: choose tuxedo suspenders or a silk cummerbund, then add a white silk pocket square and black tuxedo silk socks. Or choose the Black Tuxedo Set, with bow tie, suspenders and socks already matched.
