The traditional black bow tie is a cornerstone of tried-and-true black tie looks going back decades, but every so often, even the classics deserve another look or a touch of sartorial reinvention. And Paolo Albizzati, our Italian neckwear partners, takes on that slight reinvention in stride, using premium materials like 100 percent silk in a handsome grenadine weave. The deep merlot color is also a suitable change of pace for the man with some flexibility in his formal wardrobe, although iconic pieces like a white tuxedo shirt should remain top of mind when trying out this distinct color.
