Though just about everyone knows about Southern Proper‘s fantastic silk bowties, we’re shocked how many people don’t know that their bowtie collection expands beyond the fun ties we’ve all come to know and love. In fact, we’d argue that some of their more traditional bows will probably see heavier wear in most guys’ rotations than the printed silks.  One that will certainly see heavy wear from us this Summer is their Linen Stripe Bow.

Available in light blue, navy, and red, this is one of those bows that’ll look fantastic with just about any summer style.  Whether you go with the bold red paired with your trusty seersucker, or the more subdued light blue with a khaki suit you really can’t go wrong.  Of course, the navy will look awesome with everything.  Made from a 50/50 linen/cotton blend, the Linen Stripe bow has just the right amount of texture to make it stand out from the crowd, but not so much that it takes away from the classic stripe pattern.  Shoot, it may just be the perfect Summer bow.
