It takes a special man to rock a bow tie. But whether you're rapper Jay-Z or Kurt from Glee, both of whom have recently donned the accessory, what you pair with it is as important as the one you choose. So slip on a slim suit or pressed dark jeans with one of the freshest new styles: bold graphic prints that offer a flash of pizzazz without the stuffiness. And don't forget your swagger.
