Last Friday we talked about the #BowtieFriday movement on Twitter. In only a weeks time, we have seen a huge uptick in the #BowtieFriday buzz and this Friday is sure to be the biggest yet. Of course, with so many deciding to swim against the “casual Friday” stream, we felt that it was only right that we dedicate another Friday to a bowtie post. This Friday’s bow comes from Bows & Boats founder Ben Meredith’s company, Starboard Clothing Co. Their recently released Classic Blue Seersucker Beau ($45) is sure to be an instant success.
Part of Starboard’s just released summer line, the Classic Blue Seersucker Beau, combines two of our favorite things, bowties and classic blue and white seersucker. While the first generation of Starboard beaus featured sliders for sizing, the company has moved the entire line to a more traditional sizing method that allows 1/4 inch adjustments for necks ranging from 13 3/4″ to 18″. Cut on the bias so the lines of the fabric will angle across, this bow is the perfect way to sneak a little bit of seersucker into any summer ensemble. Whether you pair it with a beat up oxford and Nantucket reds, or a perfectly fit khaki suit, this tie will never be out of place. That is unless you pair it with your favorite seersucker suit, that would be a bit over the top even for us.
