    The short answer is, yes. That said, from the photos in the magazines the majority of men wearing bow ties appear to be wearing a black one (as instructed in the dress code). My judgement tells me that is the better choice.

    I think there's nothing looks sloppier than a jabot drizzled in cock o' leekie soup. I am rather pleased that in my world I don't need to worry about all these technicalities.
