In the west, bow ties are used in formal occasions, especially in grand occasions such as dances, while ties are mostly used in business occasions and need to be worn at work.

In China, there is no such formal emphasis, but ties are used more. Generally, men wear ties on formal occasions, so bow ties are not used so much.

2. Different matching clothes

Generally speaking, suits often wear ties, but there are also cases where suits wear bow ties. But if you choose a dress, you need to wear a bow tie instead of a tie, especially a tuxedo.

At the wedding in China, the groom usually wears a suit when he gets married, so he usually chooses a tie as decoration.
