Like all great people that love to dress this is an important part of of starting an outfit. You need to have a bow tie that will go well with the outfit that you are wear so it will make the outfit pop and make you stunt on everyone out there.

Step 2: Beginning of Greatness

To start your bow tie you must adjust your left side so that it is longer than the right and this is important cause you will be using the left side alot.

Step 3: Cross

The next strep is to cross the left side over top of the right side.

Step 4: Coming Up

On this step you are going to tighten the tie by pulling each end of the tie to make it tight, but you have it tight and still able to breathe.

Step 6: Forming the Tie
