It may be only a matter of time before one (or more) of these atypical bow tie designs makes an appearance on the red carpet. Bow ties have experienced a resurgence in popularity as of late. Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see men ditch neckties in favor of bow ties. It's also not uncommon to see bow ties that pay homage to everything from anime to board games.
These atypical bow tie designs are ideal for geeks, those who dress their pets and fans of awesome accessories. Even if you don't like to make your geekiness a part of your wardrobe, you'll still find something here for you. After all, who can say no to a wooden bow tie or a bow tie designed for cats? No one, the answer is no one.
