Streetwear Bow ties
I’ve settled pretty fully into streetwear or street prep. But I still have a ton of bow ties from when I was more into light academia. Can bow ties be worked into streetwear fits?

can you post some examples of what you mean by streetwear?
Absolutely
I'm afraid to explicitly say no
but I fear that bow ties have a connotation that is too far from a street style
I think if you leaned half way and went with an academia-y brown jacket with patch elbows you might be able to make it work
I could imagine that third image maybe with a bow tie
I think you're just gonna want to stay away from this
and closer to this
(i absolutely yoinked those photos from ethan's bow tie article btw)

I think its best to start trying them and seeing what works or what doesn't
Post fits
I think they work if you're doing the black tie stuff ALD does with them which is to say playing off of their formality
I've yet to see anything outside of stuff like this that doesn't immediately evoke 2012 hipster cringe
for me personally
Hi all
My instincts ran pretty much in lockstep with all your advice. Thank you for helping me confirm my doubts! I will save the bow ties for when I am feeling like going full prep
