Historical heavy Winston Churchill rocked a bow tie and young ‘retrosexuals’ like Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick and the new Dr. Who, Matt Smith are reviving the classic look.
Karl Marx liked to tie one on. So did Lester Pearson and Winston Churchill.
Who would have guessed these historical heavyweights, while hardly party animals, would influence clubbing-aged men to reach back in time for this:
The bow tie.
“A bow tie is one of those components that immediately makes a statement,’’ said Toronto’s Paulo Leone, 32, who owns about 30 bow ties — four of them black.
“Not everybody appreciates it. But just by wearing it, it tells people ‘I don’t care whether you like it or not, it’s something I feel comfortable in and I believe it enhances my overall look’. ’’
In a city filled with the ragged & slovenly, it is refreshingly gorgeous to see men who are well-dressed and well-groomed: Thank you Gotstyle, for reminding the men of Toronto how stunning they can be, and for carrying such stunning clothes and accessories.
Bow ties = love.
