Bowties are deeply rooted in Western society and is almost always associated with the clothing worn by the elite or the upper class. First thought to be a simple scarf worn around the opening of shirts by the 17th century Croats, its concept was adapted into the modern bowtie we see today. Because neckties are tied to suit a person's preference, the length of neckties are pretty much standard. Bowties on the other hand are made according to the wearer's neck size. As society evolves, so did the bowtie. The 'one size fits all' design is now rather common and is hailed as a convenient solution. An example would be the banded bowtie where the band goes around the wearer's neck and is clasped under the tie. Another is the pre-tied bowtie where the wearer only needs to put the buckles together and the back and he is ready to go!
