Some tips on wearing a union jack bow tie:
A union jack bow tie is of course very different from normal ties therefore you need to have the right costumes to make it look a perfect fit. Here are some tips on wearing a union jack bow tie:
Carry it off well!
A union jack bow tie is not something you wear very often and you might feel a bit awkward wearing it but make sure you have enough confidence to carry it off or you'd look like a geek. If you are a person who can't carry a union jack bow tie well then I would suggest you don't wear one.
Choose the right fabric:
Fabrics play an important role in highlighting or down lighting ties! There are certain fabrics that look good in certain colors such as silk looks good in blue and a union jack bow tie would look amazing if is made up of silk. Make sure you don't opt for a fabric that has a harsh tone as it won't look good. The fabric of your union jack bow tie should be smooth and not harsh. Also it should be one that makes the colors look good instead of making them look dull.
The costume:
Of course your costume is a priority too! You can't wear a union jack bow tie on a yellow costume until you want to look totally crazy. Depending on the occasion you should make a selection of the costume. If it's a formal occasion then a black dull suit would be perfect and if it's a dance party then you can give the a crowd a change by wearing a union jack bow tie on a white suit. White and black are two colors on which this tie can look superb. Also, a dark blue suit can be a good option!
