Choose the right theme!
You can't wear a polka dot bow tie on a jet black formal suit because it would look too out of the box. So what to do?

Get the right tie!
Now polka dot ties come in various form and you have to choose the one that would look good on you and appropriate on your apparel. There are ties with big polka dots and ties with small ones so you have to make a choice on which one is the best for you. Secondly, the color of the ties is very important. In most cases white dots on grey or white dots on black is the best option until you have to play a clown on the stage so you can opt for a red bow with white dots. But for general usage, the white on black or grey on black work best. On the other hand, the fabric of your tie is another important consideration. Make sure the fabric is not too glossy as you don't want to have a tie that is all shinny with polka dots on it. Buy a polka dot bow tie which is on a dull fabric instead of a shimmery one!
