How to tie a bow tie...

I'm off to a black tie do tonight. I've always bought a self-tie bow tie rather than a pre-tied bow tie. I mean, you'd never wear a pre-tied conventional tie would you - unless you work in mental health.

So here are instructions on how to tie a bow tie. A diagram and a video: take your pick. You can practice by tying it around your leg above the knee whilst seated.

And remember, when it comes to bow ties, practice never makes perfect. If you want perfection buy a pre-tied bow tie. I much prefer the self-tied variety because it doesn't look as neat as the pre-tied version; it has character.

Having said all of that, I may just wear a conventional tie tonight.
