The Cotton Treats 'Reversible Bow Ties' provide a novel approach to [formal menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-touch-by-bugatchi). A long-lasting mixture of cotton and polyester is used here to accommodate two separate looks, and although they may be working with the same color or pattern scheme, each offers a distinctive appeal.

The California-based brand has emphasized the beauty of variety here. While a certain checkered or ornamental look may be displayed on one side of the Reversible Bow Ties, a plain monochromatic style is often featured on its flip side. This design is perfect for those who may have to tackle two events in one day, or simply for those who prefer to invest in [practical fashion pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-plus-one-edit) that serve more than one end.
