bow tie animation. Text: Fashion School - Bow Tie - A necktie that consists of a fabric ribbon made of silk, polyester, or cotton tied around a shirt's collar symmetrically, with two opposite ends that form loops or a bow. Originating from Croatian mercenaries, who bound the collars of their shirts with scarves during the 17th century Prussian wars, the bow tie was later adopted by the French upper class. They are still a staple in formalwear, and now come pre-tied or self-tied in multiple cuts and colors.
