New Ties for Old School Charm

Gytha Mander's humorous and fashion-forward bowties have arrived in the store and we love the quirky flare they add to any outfit. Whether you're just heading out for brunch or hitting up a summer wedding, these fully adjustable bowties are a great alternative to a necktie. $58 each.

The adjustable tab system means that Gytha Mander's bowties can accomodate everyone, ranging from a neck circumference of 13.5 inches to a full 16.25 inches. And it's just as easy as finding your size and tucking the adjustable end in.

Gytha Mander bowtie in navy/red. Reversible; depending on which bow you put in front, you can either wear it with the navy/red striped pattern or the dotted pattern.
