One of the earliest forms of westernized neckwear, the bowtie is subtext for sophistication and intellectualism due to it’s history of being worn but doctors, lawyer, architects, professors and the like. However subtext aside bowties can be worn by anyone (Male Identifying, Female Identifying, Non Binary) in both formal and casual settings.

I learned how to tie a bow tie about 10 years ago from a youtube video so I figured I'd make one of my own. Though many videos break down the steps, few use multiple types of bowties to help you learn best. I've included the Butterfly, Diamond Point, and Modified Butterfly and examples on how to style them. There is no greater sartorial skill then knowing how to tie a real bow tie. With this tutorial you can get rid of you pre tied, clip on, little boy bow ties and graduate to the expert levels of trying that tie.

ABOUT DANDY WELLINGTON
Dandy Wellington is a bandleader, entertainer, event producer, and creative consultant, born-and-raised in Harlem, New York. Influenced by the style and skill of classic entertainers of the past but with his feet planted in the present, it’s no surprise that this Tisch grad has made a name for himself across the globe. From producing stylish events all over New York to performances in St. Petersburg, London, and Sydney, Dandy solidifies himself as not only an impeccably dressed man-about-town, but a bonafide man-of-the-world.

Boasting an impressive and eclectic list of clients that includes the likes of Pomelatto, Bergdorf Goodman, RewardStyle, and the National Museum of African Art, Dandy puts his uniquely well-dressed stamp on everything from his events to his music. Whether he’s organizing a dinner party at Norwood Club or crooning with his jazz band at The Rainbow Room, the crowd is well-coiffed and the scenery is elegant.

Dandy’s signature panache and eye for detail has earned him features in The New York Times, Vogue Magazine, and various other outlets renowned for their taste and sophistication. Mr. Wellington epitomizes the undeniable cool of the Jazz Age, while also bringing a progressive perspective befitting of the ever-changing landscape of our modern lifestyle. His appreciation for the swinging big bands, elegant parties, and beautifully tailored clothing of the 1920’s/30’s, paired with his contemporary edge, make him a certifiable renaissance man and a true modern dandy.

Excellent instructional video. I watched the video in a mirror so that I could follow what Dandy was doing exactly. He repeats the procedure 3 times to make sure it sinks in. Perfect! Thank you Dandy.
