DIY Candy Man

The Bolo Tie

In theory it's a simple piece of neck wear, but there is something kind of rebellious and fun about a bolo tie, like a metallic trimmed f-you to the man and his pricey silk cravats. I love trying out a masculine quirk on an outfit, either structured shoulders, boyfriend blazers, brogues, bow ties. 

This was a natural progression.

Take one Joe Malone gift-box ribbon & a vintage gold earring and voila, a DIY bolo/ western tie.

Candy Man or Barber...either way I love it!

This is so easy to do. You use a ribbon like me- any coloured ribbon you have lying around and any statement earring will look brilliant, just play about with it and have fun!

Or with a plain shirt, choose a silky printed scarf, fold neatly and tie it through a cocktail ring will have a similarly eye catching effect!
