bow tie
This accessory is strongly associated with high-formality dress codes, specifically black-tie events. While it is a staple of tuxedos, it is also used in professional settings by certain academics or doctors to project a scholarly or eccentric persona.
Because it is a compound noun, the pluralization occurs at the end of the phrase. It is distinct from a standard necktie in both shape and the specific social signals it sends, often implying a higher level of ceremony or a deliberate stylistic choice.
