If you haven't noticed, bow ties are back in effect and are more popular than ever. But I'm sure you haven't heard about the holiday "National Bow Tie Day"; well neither have I. Okay so it's not so much of a big deal everywhere but more like an "unofficial" national holiday that is celebrated on August 28th in the United States. It is strange to find out that the creator of this holiday is still unknown...
The bow tie set the new fashion trend apart from the necktie in the early 17th century. It was introduced when the French soldiers brought the cravat back to France following the Thirty Years War.
Over the years , bow ties have been leaving neckties in the dust when it comes to its popularity in the media and on the internet. The number of google searches for bow ties have gone up while the trend for neckties have gone down, 31.4 million to 12.3 million in google searches. So on August 28th, put on your sharpest bow tie and make a statement!
