This week, we’ve already talked about the changes that will soon be taking place when it comes to our footwear and pants selection come Fall.  Along those same lines, our bowtie choices will also be changing as temperatures begin to drop.  Silks will soon be working their way back into heavy rotation, and some of the bright summer madras prints will be replaced with more subdued tartan prints like the one featured on the Tartan Bowtie by J. Crew ($52),

In our opinion, this bow is just begging to be worn on a casual Friday.  Made in the USA from 100% cotton, we’d pair it with a light blue oxford and jeans without a second thought.  That being said, it would also look just as great with a pressed white dress shirt, khakis, and your favorite blazer.  Either way, the simple blue/green tartan print is one that will never be out of style, and the diamond tips add just the right amount of flash to an otherwise understated bow.
