Bow tie

A bow tie is a small piece of fabric that you wear around your neck. It's called a bow tie because when you tie it, it looks like a bow! Bow ties come in lots of colors and patterns, so you can choose one that looks just right for you. You can wear a bow tie to look fancy and dressed up. People wear bow ties to weddings, fancy parties, and sometimes even to work if they have a fancy job. But don't worry, tying a bow tie isn't too hard. It just takes a little practice!
