Every once in a while, you have to bend the rules of black tie. For us, New Years Eve is definitely one of those times, and this year our suggestion is to add some blackwatch to your look. While a full on blackwatch tuxedo shirt may be a bit much for most, we think anyone could pull off the Black Watch Silk Tartan Bow from Res Ipsa.
Founded by a couple of lawyers down in Georgia, Rep Ipsa may be a young company, but they’re definitely not afraid to put their spin on a classic. While blackwatch is traditionally found on wool, we think it looks equally as great in silk form. Handmade in New York, this bow will have you looking great at your New Years event no matter what time zone you’re celebrating in.
