Self discovery: proper bowties
Apr. 6th, 2023 06:16 pmI've always hated ties. They're just rubbish, and thankfully.. I've pretty much managed to limit the occasions I have to wear them on. Weddings, funerals.
On some of these occasions I've resorted to an alternative: the clip on bowtie. While better than a regular tie.. These are also a bit naff, and just look wrong.
Next month we're going on a cruise to Norway. Included are a few formal nights, and despite both of our usual instincts being to avoid this Kr0n and myself have decided to go to at least one of these.
To this end I've bought myself an (extremely cheap) real bowtie, to see if I could teach myself to tie it. And that was actually not too hard. Most importantly it's the first piece of neckwear I've ever felt comfortable in.
So.. REDACTED years in, achievement unlocked.. I now know I'm a bowtie person.
