How to Match Your Dog's Bow Tie With Dad's Style

There's something undeniably charming about a dad and his dog in coordinating bow ties. Whether it's for a wedding, a family photo, or just a special day, matching your pup to dad's style is easy — and the results are pure gold. Here's how to do it right.

Match the color, not the exact print

The trick to looking coordinated (rather than costume-y) is to echo dad's main color rather than copy his outfit exactly. If he's in a navy suit, a Navy Bow Tie on the dog ties them together perfectly.

Coordinate the formality

Keep the vibe consistent. A black-tie look pairs with a sleek Black Bow Tie, while a rustic or casual outfit suits a plaid or textured style.

Pick up an accent color

If dad's outfit has a pocket square or tie in a feature color, match the dog's bow tie to that accent for a subtle, pulled-together look.

Keep the dog comfortable

However you style it, comfort comes first. Our bow ties sit on an adjustable vegan-leather collar, so your dog looks sharp and stays happy.

Dress dad to match

Want dad and the dog to truly coordinate? Our sister store Handmade Bow Tie makes handmade bow ties for men in the same wedding shades, and their Daddy & Me sets come in matching adult and kids sizes. Find the exact shade on the shop-by-color page, then match your dog's collar to it.

The takeaway

Matching your dog to dad is all about echoing his color and formality without copying him head to toe. Pick up his main shade or an accent, keep it comfortable, and enjoy the most photogenic duo at the event.
