And I see what you guys are saying, and I can put the colors together well, but I need to know the names of some types of clothing that I can wear a bowtie with, like the cardigan thing was useful a whole ensemble appeared in my head just from that, I dont need detailed "wear grey cardigan, with faded jeans ect..."
WAYWRN and other pictorial inspiration is your friend. But really, put your blast-shield down and use the steez. You'll figure out what you like.

Oh didnt even really think to look through those (I've only been here since yesterday), and um I usually pretty good with slang but I dont have the slightest idea what "put your blast-shield down and use the steez." means.

You'll find it in a 90s dictionary under the heading Trying Really Really Hard To Speak Cool. Good luck with the bow tie thing, kid. Where I was in HS we had to wear bow ties. Really.

In high school, wearing a bow tie will almost invariably turn you into "that kid who wears bow ties." If you're already into standing out because of your wardrobe, go ahead and rock it, but it's a stretch for most high school kids.

Above, I think the tie is made from the same fabric as the coat, no? ( However, High school kid, don't do this. Leave it to Robert Downy, Jude Law and maybe me)

Hey how do you guys like this? Just kinda testing the waters, seeing what my imagination comes up with as far as casual bow tie outfits.

With a bowtie similar in color to this one.

And replacing the pants with skinny jeans. Or would that just look weird, or do people not wear those types of vests without jackets? And that is me incase anyone was wondering.

We're still wondering. Just a bunch of code posted. Do you get a picture when you hit preview? (Always hit preview before submit.)

Okay, we're getting it now. So that's you? Like now, or when you were in Saturday Night Fever?
