Sure they do! However, I will say that bold bow ties are easier to pull off because they're so much smaller. So you can still be very well dressed with a bold bow tie, but it won't be as impressive as a tastefully worn bold FIH.

:)


Completely understood, and agreed. Most of my neckties are more pB than Beppe though, so I felt the need to inquire.

Wearing large scale yellow paisley. The boldest tie I own. It was a gift and it has never been worn until today (which is probably in the spirit of the Friday Challenges--to push some of us outside our comfort zones)

I don't have a bold tie. I don't even have a patterned tie. I do have a tie with a bold bar tack:

NOBD, you rebel you.

Also, have you been messing with my tripod? Something seems off with it of late.

So it's pink...bold? Nah. Didn't Org say patterns were compulsory? I think TTO is on the right track (no surprise). And I'm both alarmed and intrigued to wonder what Holdfast might consider to be pushing the boundaries.

A pink cashmere Attolini may not be the boldest tie imaginable, but it has a bold historical SF pedigree.
