I think it depends on the groom/groomsmen also. There are some guys that can make a bow tie like really good!
Personally I prefer the look of a tie but FI thinks tux=bow tie. I don't know which is better, it's just a personal choice.
I think it depends on the formality/style/theme of the event. I left that decision to FI and he picked tie.
The only person i have seen able to pull off a bow tie is Chuck Bass, and he looks just plain silly sometimes. but i do think he would have to try the bow tie on before you totally nix it.
I like the neck tie the best, but on very well cut tuxes, a bow tie looks all James Bond fab.
I've always thought bow tie would be the more clasic look with a tux, but it seems like Fi prefers neckties..
I agree with krissycake-- if you're looking for a very formal look, the bow is the way to go. Although neckties have become very popular in formalwear the past few years, they do impart a suit-y look.
I also prefer the necktie...we'll see what the FI picks.
Mr. Green: The bow tie is a more classic look. It definitely depends on the formality and time of your event. If you're getting hitched on the beach @ 10 am, it's not necessary. But for an evening wedding in a church with a formal ballroom reception afterward, a bow tie will make just the right statement. Avoid the white dinner jacket, 007...
I think you should ask you FI, over Thanksgiving his mom asked him this question and he was actually quite opinionated about it. I just assumed he would want a necktie, surprise surprise he wants a full on tux with a bowtie.
Really depends on the tux and the groom but generally I prefer the necktie.
Neck tie with a vest, Bowtie with a cumberbund, but I can't remember the last time I saw someone wear a cumberbund. My men are wearing vests.
I personally dont like bow ties so i would go with neck ties. But thats just me!
