There are two types of neckline decorations for suits: necktie and bow tie. As a men’s evening dress, a tuxedo is usually worn with a bow tie instead of a necktie. This is because the necktie cannot be used with a collared shirt inside the tuxedo, and the bow tie is more suitable for a tuxedo. It can highlight the three-dimensional and layered sense of the front upper chest. For formal occasions with a dress code, a tuxedo can only be worn with a white bow tie. If there are no special requirements, it can also be worn with other bow ties. Let's learn about necktie or bow tie for tuxedos and what bow tie is for men's tuxedos.

As a suit dress, a tuxedo is usually matched with some accessories. In the collar, a tuxedo is usually matched with a bow tie instead of a necktie. Why? Can a tuxedo be worn with a necktie?
The reason why a tuxedo is not suitable for a necktie is mainly that a standard tuxedo with a collared shirt cannot be used with a necktie, and a bow tie is more suitable. In addition, in terms of effect, a tuxedo with a bow tie can highlight the three-dimensionality and layering of the front upper chest; but a necktie will not have this effect.
2. What bow tie goes with a men's tuxedo
A tuxedo is usually paired with a bow tie, and a standard tuxedo can only be matched with a white bow tie. The white bow tie is also a synonym for a tuxedo and is considered the only orthodox neckline of a tuxedo. If there is a dress code for foreign dinner parties, "white tie (white bow tie)" is usually written on the invitation letter, which means wearing a tuxedo.
The white bow tie represents the most formal and traditional dress code. The dress code is very strict, and you must not pursue a maverick. Once you make a mistake, you will become the "mascot" of the night.
