Bow ties are both dapper and chic and by far the most conventional way to add a fashionable touch of elegance to your ensemble. A bow tie is a must-have in every modern man’s wardrobe, from wearing a simple bow tie with a well-structured formal suit to making fashion statements by going bold with experimental patterns, shapes, and colors. And to prove it, we’ve compiled a list of your favorite Bollywood performers’ most dashing appearances.

It’s time to take some fashion advice and switch out your boring old ties with some gorgeous bow ties! We always recommend ditching your tie in favor of a bow tie when opting for a well-structured appearance, and Shahid Kapoor’s outfit here proves our point! Wear a Kentucky-style bow tie like Varun Dhawan to dress up your all-black formal ensemble. In his bow tie, he looked incredibly hot.

For an informal occasion, wear an all-printed, fancy suit and get creative like fashion star Ranveer Singh by matching it with a solid-colored bow tie to give your appearance an urbane touch. Karan Johar’s fashion statements are legendary, and he’s done it yet again. A large butterfly bow tie, a white-on-white combo that gracefully complements the bright pink coat is the perfect style for a cocktail night!
