White cotton button down shirts with double pockets are extremely versatile.  They are simple, yet the pockets help break-up the otherwise plain shirt.  Pairing this white shirt with a casual bow tie then classes up the look and gives the pop of color while remaining subtle, and dapper.

A guy wearing a blue and white checkered button down shirt and maroon pants dresses decently.  A guy wearing that and a white bow tie, is interesting.  In this look, sometimes a casual white bow tie is all you need.  With the two colors, one bold and the other more subtle creating visual contrast, using a simple white bow tie to bring attention up to your face makes sure that you're still the focal point.

The light blue, cotton, button-down shirt is awesome.  It has color, but not too much.  And it's much more casual than than it's navy blue cousin.  It can be more subtle when paired with jeans or with a pop of color.  For these reasons, most guys have one.  This is where the bow tie comes in and helps you stand out, because otherwise, in this picture, Nick and Brent would be wearing the same shirt.

Once again, the white shirt is useful.  Notice how the red hues in Nick's pants are paired with the red hues in the bow tie.  It creates a visual connection, and the white shirt provides a backdrop.  For those wanting to wear a bow tie with pants of a different color, take a cue from this look.

Your dapper bow ties from Solo Album have multiple ways of wearing them.  Unlike the two-toned bow tie where both sides are completely different colors, Your Dapper bow-ties can create a much more sophisticated look by using the rule of thirds concept, from photography.
