List of bow tie wearers

This is a list of notable bow tie wearers, real and fictional; notable people for whom the
wearing of a bow tie (when not in formal dress) is also a notable characteristic.

A list of bow tie devotees reads like a Who's Who of rugged individualists.

— The New York Times [1]

Bow tie wearing can be a notable characteristic for an individual. Men's clothier Jack
Freedman told The New York Times that wearing a bow tie "is a statement maker" that
identifies a person as an individual because "it's not generally in fashion".[1] Numerous
writers and bow tie sellers have observed that the popularity of this type of neckwear can

photographed wearing a
polka dot bow tie.
Until the 20th century, the bow tie was the general rule for neckties. Starting in early 20th
century, the bow tie started to become more rare.

In 1996, The Wall Street Journal quoted statistics from the Neckwear Association of America showing that bow ties represent 3
percent of the 100 million ties sold each year in the United States, most of them part of formal wear, such as for white tie and
black tie.[4]

Attention to famous bow tie wearers in commerce and fashion


commentary
Those who write about bow ties often mention famous people who wear or have worn them. These writers often make the point
that the image conveyed to others by a bow tie can be affected by associations with celebrities and famous people in the past.

A common fashion accessory in the nineteenth century, the bow tie had positive associations by mid-twentieth century, bolstered
by real-world personalities like President Franklin Roosevelt and the "political genius" Right Honourable Sir Winston Churchill
as well as "devil-may-care" characters portrayed in movies by actors like Humphrey Bogart and Frank Sinatra.[5] By the 1970s,
however, the bow tie became associated with nerds and geeks, such as the slapstick characters played by Jerry Lewis, and
Mayberry's fictional deputy sheriff, Barney Fife. This perception was reinforced by the bow tie's association with Pee-wee
Herman and U.S. Senator Paul Simon.[6]

The perceptions associated with bow ties started to take another turn in the 1980s, when Success Magazine's founder, W. Clement
Stone, spoke out in support of the neck wear after the publication by fashion author John Molloy which observed, "Wear a bow
tie and nobody will take you seriously."[7] Stone associated bow-tie wearing with virility, aggressiveness, and salesmanship.[8][9]
In further defense of the bow tie, its use by figures such as Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Saul Bellow has been cited.[10]

Celebrities' effect on bow-tie wearing


When a celebrity is noticed wearing a bow tie, it can affect bow tie sales; sales see an
improvement when the accessory is associated with younger celebrities such as Tucker
Carlson. When Raj Bhakta wore one during his stint on The Apprentice, haberdashers
reported customers asking for a bow tie which looked like his.[2] Similarly, after Matt
Smith made his debut as the bow tie-wearing Eleventh Doctor in Doctor Who, Topman
reported a significant increase in demand for bow ties (from 3% of all tie sales to
14%).[11]

Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. wrote about his decision as a college student to start wearing
bow ties in his memoir A Life in the Twentieth Century: Innocent Beginnings, 1917–1950.
Schlesinger remarked that he made his decision in part because a number of famous men
he admired had a penchant for the neck wear. In addition, he noted that they prevent

early 1960s, when he
worked for U.S. President
John F. Kennedy.
Commercial interests using famous wearers to encourage
sales
Bow tie sellers often cite famous people who have worn the neckwear as a way of encouraging more customers. Jack Cutone, co-
founder of Boston Bow Tie, noted that there is ample evidence to support the uniqueness and stature of those who wear bow ties,
including Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud.[13] Beau Ties Ltd., an online bow tie seller,
has featured a "C. Everett Koop bow tie," complete with an endorsement by Koop, who was Surgeon General of the United States
during the Reagan administration.[14] Carrot & Gibbs, another bow tie seller, lists several famous wearers on its bow tie web
page.[15]
Bow tie wearers of the nineteenth century
Bow ties were conventional attire in the nineteenth century. Portraits of U.S. presidents
from Van Buren through McKinley commonly show them in bow ties. Wearing of a bow
tie was seldom commented upon and did not form part of the public perception of figures
such as American inventor Thomas Edison or Communist theorist Karl Marx.[16]

all, of course, was Winston Churchill, whose favorite was a fine floppy blue job with white polka dots. Daniel
Patrick Moynihan, a tall man, often adds a giant butterfly to his getup, which gives his appearance a light and
rakish air. Saul Bellow has taken to wearing bow ties late in life. Former Sen. Paul Simon is a habitual bow tie
wearer, though, oddly, he seems never to have learned to tie them properly, for the right side of his ties never
quite make it to full bow form. For diversity's sake, it would be good to have an NFL linebacker instead of Louis
Farrakhan to round off this roster, but Churchill, Moynihan, Bellow, Simon and Farrakhan (a clip-on man, I
surmise) perhaps provide sufficient diversity in themselves."
