Year of the Bow Tie!

  

 Three weeks into the new year and already abandoned your unrealistic resolution?

Change takes time. And what better way to ease your way into the new year than by vamping up your style profile and improving your swagger status? Take baby steps into the new year, and a quick look at OoOTie's seasonal wardrobe guide where you can learn how to pair a bow tie with a tight new look under any and all weather conditions. Whatever the weather, OoOTie has got it covered when it comes to creating a seasonally fantastic new you!

                                               

Winter 

Think Boston Weather: Mild-Frigid Air/Light Snow-Dude, where's my car?!
Wear: Something bright to save you from your snowy weather woes.

Pair: Balance your brightness with a neutral and heavy textured bow tie such as our Woolly Mammoth.

   

Spring

Think Boston Weather: A weather identity crisis: The possible last hurrah for snow, slush, and ice, or the beginnings of a rainy and beautiful spring.

Wear:Fashionable lightweight raincoats, earth-toned or pastel-colored dress shirts.

Pair: With a more playful and diverse bow tie such as our reversible Candy Shop bow tie.

Summer
 

Think Boston Weather: Fun in the sun boat shoe weather-Live in a central air ice box.

Wear: Something! Public nudity is frowned upon despite the ungodly heat. Think bathing suits, breathable fabrics, and lightweight plaids.

Pair: A fun and carefree print such as our Anchors Away bow tie.

Fall

Think Boston Weather: Warm-Perfect hoodie wearing conditions.

Wear: Heavier cardigans and pullovers, dark washed jeans, and crisp white collared shirts.

Pair: A bookish scholar look with one of our school spirit bow ties such as the Boston University Rhett bow tie.

What Takes Longer Than Tying a Bow Tie?

 What Takes Longer Than Tying a Bow Tie?

Okay, we get it! Bow ties get a bad rap because they look "confusing," and yes, in comparison to putting your ethics aside and downloading the latest Coldplay album onto your computer desktop, they do seem like they take forever to tie! So call us dreamers, but we over here at OoOTie think that you can learn how to tie a bow tie long before you trade in your sweet new kicks for a less than flattering pair of orthopedic shoes. 

OoOTie actually believes that there are far more time consuming and less enjoyable daily routines you practice than teaching yourself how to tie a bow tie, which is why we took the liberty in compiling a brief list below. So before listing all the reasons why you shouldn't buy back your swagger in the form of an OoOTie bow tie this holiday season, just remind yourself that it REALLY does take effort to create effortlessly great style!

  

Everyday Activities That Take Longer and Are Less Realistic Goals Than Learning How to Tie a Bow Tie.

 1. Waiting in Line for Your Morning Caffeine Injections

Why wait twenty-five plus minutes only to find out barista, Mike left out your "NECESSARY" three shots of espresso?! Use your time both effectively and wisely and work on your bow tie tying skills in the early morning so that you can dress to impress afternoon barista, Michelle.    

2. Cleaning the Apartment From Top to Bottom

Why clean when you have a light dimmer? OoOTie guarantees that a bright and shiny newly tied bow tie can lighten up any room.

3. Studying For Your Exam on the History of Your Facebook Friends Finals

Really? At least have something in a bow tie form to show for all that hard core procrastination!

4. Sitting in Bumper to Bumper Traffic

Instead of proving to the guy in front of you that you were "blessed" with your father's sailor mouth, get into your zen place with thoughts of how awesome you'll look in your new OoOTie bow tie! 

5. Becoming a Gym Rat

Okay, so you want to work out. Reasonable. But you think if you go to the gym for the next six months for thirty minutes or less that you'll end up with Mike, the Situation-like abs?! Umm...sorry to break it to you, but your time is better spent on having your tie earn that perfect, rock hard, bow tie body.

6. Revealing Facebook/Twitter Status Imposters

Sometimes friends can do bad things. It's better just to accept that people will realize that you didn't just jump out the window because Rose DID in fact let go of Jack after watching Titanic for the first time. It's better to spend your time online elsewhere, can we suggest OoOTie.com?










****So how many tries does it take until you get to the knot of this neck candy? Well, with some good old fashion practice, you might become a fierce competitor for the fastest bow tie tie-er in the greater Boston area, OoOTie's pal, Tyler!
