🔥 Bow ties for men | Rockabilly look

When we were creating this post, suddenly, flash! The light bulb went on and we decided that we had to write a post for those of you who are looking for a more rock look and want to complete it with a bow tie.

First of all, what is a rockabilly look?

Well, you can read the whole story on Wikipedia, so we'll save you the hassle, but we'll leave you the link here because knowledge doesn't take up space .

We could describe this fashion trend with 3 words: Sex, Freedom and Rebellion. 3 concepts that remind us of the 70s where things, well, were seen from a different point of view :)

The dressing style of people who like the look, the rockabillis , contains these elements: black leather jackets (with or without studs) or jeans, black or worn denims, leather boots, hairstyles with a pompadour and hair gel, and on women puffy dresses with tutu, peep toe shoes and flared skirts, typical of pop culture.

And since an image is worth more than the 200 words we just gave you, here we leave you the idea :)

And here's an infographic that's a bit cliché but helps to give you an idea of ​​the style we want to achieve.

And now we are going to create a

Rockabilly men's look with bow tie

Let's start with some options regarding the design or drawing of the bow tie, taking into account that you already have the jeans, the jacket and the gel in your possession.

The first look, give it a naughty touch with a skull bow tie

The bones, the skulls, the black on white is basic if you want to achieve a style like this.

Therefore, one of the easy combinations is to combine a leather jacket with a white shirt and a skull bow tie that gives it that rogue and daring touch.

Skulls, an element that although it has its dodgy connotations, fashion has turned it into a must of elegance, class and style and there is no self-respecting wardrobe that does not have a skull among its belongings.

Thanks to brands and designers like Philipp Plein and also somewhat more affordable garments such as those from the Scalpers brand, today we can find skulls everywhere, and I won't even tell you if you go into more gothic clothing brands :).

If skulls aren't your thing, try completing your rocker look with a plain, unprinted bow tie.

You will only need a shirt, roll up your sleeves a little, some black suspenders and let your rocker side stand out above all else.
You need to get something similar to this image.

If you accept our advice, and having the image as a reference;
  • If the tattoos are yours, the better. These dodgy stockings that they put on their arms imitating tattoos make us sick, and they are also very hot.
  • If your bow tie and suspenders are plain and black , the look will win.
  • The light shirt, white more specifically, if you are going to combine it with a plain black bow tie.
  • Sunglasses help build that rocker look that we are looking for, therefore they are a yes.
  • Beard, this depends on you, but if you want to innovate, try growing a beard for a few days (kind of careless, but not).
  • The hat. Skip it. It is what we like least and fits us least in the previous image.
In terms of style and elegance, less is always more. And if you allow us these tips, you will see how with a little hair gel and some black leather boots, you can achieve the desired effect without unnecessary accessories. Because you can be very elegant having a very marked style like rockabilly.

The same look, or one a little less ornate but with a plain gray bow tie , combined with some suspenders, which are what give it a touch of color (real tattoos, beard and white shirt) would be the one we leave you here. Much better, right?

But how did one of its top representatives handle it?

He is an icon of style, class and show business.
If you look closely at the 3 images, the bow ties are the same type and style.

All bow ties are narrow and dark. Combined with suit jackets with huge lapels (typical of the fashion of the time) , white shirts and a good, thoughtful hairstyle. Nothing more, the rest is attitude.
