American as apple pie

Brooks Brothers launched a bow tie collection just in time for the summer season. Exclusively designed and inspired their heritage of mixing vivid patterns and colors, the Social Primer founder, K. Cooper Ray, has created a playful take on this classic. The American made bow ties have been re-imagined with a traditional yet irreverent perspective. Using pure silk or cotton fabrics, the collection features reversible styles that create many ways to wear the bow tie. Last evening’s party proved just that. The waiters, bartenders and many of the guests dandied about in seersucker and tie. It would have made my handsome grandfather proud. And K. Cooper Ray was delightful! Seen here with one of my favorite Brooks Brothers fashionistas.
