National Bow Tie Day is a quirky celebration that brings together people and their pets worldwide every August 28th. It’s all about showing some love for the bow tie, a fashion accessory that doesn’t always get the spotlight it deserves.
The day encourages everyone to wear a bow tie in any activity, from grocery shopping to puzzle-solving, making it a universal sign of celebration on this day. The idea is to wear it with pride, whether you’ve got a brand-new piece, borrowed one, or crafted it yourself.
The tradition underscores the bow tie’s enduring charm and versatility, inviting everyone to share their bow-tied looks on social media.
The bow tie’s history is as rich and twisted as its knots. Originating in the 17th century from Croatian soldiers, the bow tie has evolved from a practical garment piece to a symbol of intellect and sophistication.
French elites were quick to adopt this style, transforming it into a fashion statement. By the 1800s, the bow tie had become an essential accessory for the cultured gentleman.
