Not quite sure what to wear at your family and friend gathering this weekend? We’re here to help.

To honor the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed their lives for our country, we wanted to stay patriotic within our color scheme of red, white, and blue. Our Harold wooden bow tie, crafted from red hued Padauk wood, is a perfect statement piece to pair with a light blue shirt. The zig-zag pattern etched on the front of the tie is able to be the main focal point when paired with a solid button-up short sleeved shirt. Pair this striking combo with a pair of neutral shorts, in this case we chose a medium gray, and beige shoes. Add in your favorite pair of sunglasses or watch and you have a fresh, summer ensemble.

The other bow tie we are featuring this week is our painted wooden bow tie, Calvin. This handcrafted wooden men’s accessory is made from Shedua wood, which is then painted with a red striped pattern on the front. The charcoal gray center fabric balances out the bright painted design. This allows the bow tie to be a great conversational piece without being too loud or overwhelming. Once again, we chose to pair this red-pattered tie with a textured, light blue button-up shirt and neutral bottoms. In this ensemble, we decided this pair of khaki pants complimented the revealed wood grain in the bow tie and a brown belt and pair of sunglasses drew the whole outfit together. You can find this wooden bow tie, Calvin, on our website here.

A Grand Affair: Lauren Conrad & Andre Wilson’s Wood Bow Tie at the Kentucky Derby

Posted by Sarah Mendelsohn on 3rd May 2013

A widely renowned American sporting event, The Kentucky Derby, is known for more than just being a series of intensive horse races. Every year this grand occasion brings out a slew of celebrities from numerous different industries and cities from around the world. This year was no exception and as is tradition at The Kentucky Derby, the famous personalities that attended the affair came impeccably dressed.  Thousands of men and women partook in the festivities outfitted in a variety of decorative suits, brightly colored dresses and hats that were larger than life. The clothes worn by viewers alone are a spectacle to see. One of our personal favorites at this year’s event was Style Icon President and CEO, Andre Wilson. Poised with a giant smile, Wilson appeared on The Kentucky Derby red carpet dressed in a perfect crème colored suit, a matching cap, and clean white button down shirt. He chose to bring the look together with a Padauk wood, laser etched Two Guys Wooden Bow Tie, the Harold tie. Although we may be a bit bias in our favoritism, we are certainly not alone in our admiration for Andre Wilson’s Kentucky Derby look. Fashion designer, reality television star and a style icon in her own right, Lauren Conrad, was also a big fan of Wilson’s charming ensemble. In fact, she loved the Harold bow tie so much that she snapped a picture of it and shared it with her 2-million instagram followers.  At an event where everything is done in over the top flamboyance, Andre Wilson and his wooden bow tie still managed to steal the show and clearly, the hearts of Conrad’s massive social media following.

You too can purchase an attention grabbing Harold Tie in Two Guys Bow Ties online store. We promise; you don’t need tickets to the Kentucky Derby to wear it right.
