Many people today say that black neckties are only for funerals, and black bow ties are only to be worn with a tuxedo.
But if you see pictures or TV programs made 50 years ago, a lot of people are actually wearing a black neckie with a normal business suit.
Was that also the case with black bow ties, or have they always only been appropiate with formalwear?
I kind of miss that look. I think that a medium grey suit and fedora, black necktie, white shirt and black shoes is a really sharp look.
