Bow Tie Blouses by van Laack – A Feminine Classic with a Bow Collar
The bow tie – the scarf-like, softly tied band at the collar – is one of the most expressive details in women's fashion. It deliberately draws the eye to the neck and face, gives the blouse an unmistakable character and can be interpreted differently every day depending on how it is knotted: loosely draped, precisely tied or formed into a bow. Since 1881, van Laack has been crafting blouses in which tradition and modern cuts come together with precision, and it is precisely with the bow tie blouse that this care is shown in the detail – a cleanly cut band falls softly, holds its shape and sits so lightly at the neck that the bow becomes the actual ornament of the blouse.
Materials – Why Silk Is So Convincing with the Bow Tie Blouse
The collection is clearly shaped by one material: silk. It flows softly around the body, shimmers discreetly and lends the bow precisely that light movement which makes the detail so appealing. Even when combined with fine stretch content, silk retains its noble character but additionally gains freedom of movement – an advantage in everyday work life and when travelling. Anyone with a general interest in this material world will find further models in our silk blouses. A particular variant in the collection is the silk blouse with wide organza sleeves: the translucent, slightly firmer organza sets an airy accent against the flowing bow and gives the model a festive note.
Cuts and Details – From Sleeveless to Tailored
The range extends from the sleeveless blouse with ruffles and bow tie for warm days to tailored models in silk with stretch, which calmly trace the feminine silhouette. The shirt-blouse variant with bow tie – for example as a silk model with polka-dot print – also combines the classic shirt-blouse construction principle with the feminine accent of the band. Discreet prints such as polka dots or graphic patterns set playful but never overloaded accents and make the bow tie blouse a favourite piece that can be worn both elegantly and casually.
Occasion and Styling – Combining the Bow Tie Blouse Versatilely
In everyday professional life, a classic business ensemble emerges with a femininely cut pencil skirt and a structured boxy jacket; alternatively, the bow tie blouse with dark suit trousers under a blazer creates a focused, elegant office look. Further models for formal appointments are shown in our business blouses. For special evenings – receptions, concerts, festive dinners – silk models with prints or organza sleeves form the right setting; complemented by our festive blouses. In a casual context, the bow tie blouse is convincing with skinny jeans, pointed ankle boots or in summer with denim shorts – inspiration for this can be found in our casual blouses.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bow Tie Blouses
What is a bow tie blouse?
A bow tie blouse is a blouse with two wide, scarf-like bands at the collar that can be tied into a bow or a loosely falling knot. The bow tie thereby becomes the character-defining detail and gives the model a feminine, elegant note.
Which figure types does a bow tie blouse particularly flatter?
The bow tie draws the eye to the neck and face and thereby flatters almost every figure type. A larger bust is visually balanced by the flowing band, while a smaller bust gains presence through the voluminous detail.
How do I properly care for a silk blouse with a bow tie?
Silk reacts sensitively to mechanical stress – we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent for delicates or the wool cycle at a maximum of 30 °C in a laundry bag. Avoid fabric softener, dry the model on a hanger in a shaded place and carefully pull the bow back into shape before drying. Iron the blouse slightly damp from the inside on a low setting.
