Five Reasons to Go Back to School Rocking the Bow Tie!

Why Should You Rock the Bow Tie Back to School?


Back to school often means back to school clothes shopping. But be weary of falling into the trap of sporting oversized college hoodies, flip flops, and pajama bottoms to class. OoOTie would like to point out that wanting to be "comfy cozy" has never been described as "hot."



Instead, make an effort to look your best at all times by adding a few bow ties to your school supplies shopping list. Still unsure if the bow tie fits into the college student's lifestyle? OoOTie has come up with five reasons why you should rock the bow tie during this upcoming school year. Remember, it's just as important to earn an "A" in Biology as it is in good style.




  
1. Restrain Yourself From Creating a "Uniform." 

Just say no to T-shirt time! Bow tie enthusiast, Jimmy Fallon, "enlightened" us by making light of our poor wardrobe choices in his rendition of "the Jersey Floor" (click link to watch absolute hysteria to ensue) and their beloved "sweatshirt time." A word to the wise, OoOTie encourages you to do yourself a favor and gently end your relationship with your old wardrobe standbys. OoOTie knows that breakups are hard, but we also know that you could look better. 





 



2. Get a Good/Tolerable Reputation




"Bow tie guy" beats "naked hallway guy" every time. Need we say more?










3. Become an Individual


Conformity is so 2003! College is often described as the time where one finds oneself, but just make sure that during this late teens- early twenties identity crisis that you also find a bow tie that makes you stand out from the rest of the crowd. There's nothing wrong with some experimentation, but do keep your future self and unborn children in mind. Remember, changing bow ties up with colors, textures, patterns, and cuts never caused anyone any discomfort or avoid eye contact for months on end. 








4. Meet New Friends


Bow ties make terrific conversation starters! Make sure to stop by OoOTie.com and dress to impress professors, fellow bros, and lady friends who will most definitely say your bow tie makes you look and sound like a "perfect 10!" Your bow tie will surely get you a generous amount of friend requests before midterms. That's an OoOTie guarantee;)


  
5. Look the Part!


If you look smart, you'll feel smart, which will then make you seem smarter. In statistical terms, you have a win-win-win situation thanks to the help of bow ties, my friends! Don't underestimate the power of bow ties as they'll be sure to help you create a winning look. Start the semester off right with a style that will be sure to get you ahead of the class!

OoOTie's Bow Tie Lover in the Flesh: Rhett, Boston University's Favorite Boston Terrier!!!!

OoOTie's Bow Tie Lover in the Flesh: Rhett, Boston University's Favorite Boston Terrier!!!!

Meet Rhett, Boston University's ultimate spirit-stick holding Boston terrier mascot! Named after Rhett Butler, the lead male character in Margaret Mitchell's film Gone With the Wind, this eighty-eighty years young pup is a born class act, having a love for both the classics and for his Scarlett (i.e. reason why BU's school colors are scarlet and white). Often sporting BU sports jerseys, you can find Rhett cheering on his favorite Division 1 college sports team on the sidelines and being featured in ESPN SportsCenter commercials.










Rhett truly proves to be man's best friend, loyally sticking by his s
chool's side and keeping the party going in Agganis Arena, even when Boston College's mascot Baldwin tries to spoil BU fans' fun. His high-powered enthusiasm has also been recognized on both state-wide and national levels, winning him such titles during the Universal Cheerleading Association's mascot nationals as "All-American" in 1996 and "Boston's Top Mascot" in 1998.



It's then no surprise as
to why Rhett hit up the OoOTie guys for a bow tie that subtly represents his overall love for all things BU while at fancier campus affairs where his sports jerseys simply will not do! So in honor of the well- deserving mascot, who literally wears his heart for BU on his school jersey sleeve, OoOTie has created some fashionable neck-candy for this dignified-looking terrier and other fellow BU fans.




Rhett excha
nges his game face for a sharp but playful- looking bow tie that still allows him to keep his swagger in tact while roaming around campus events and at the Warren Towers Dining Hall. So please do make sure to stop by the Barnes&Noble @ Boston University Bookstore and purchase OoOTie's Boston University bow tie that will be sure to make you look like the top dog on campus!
