Bowtie clip

Abstract

Disclosed embodiments provide a bowtie clip that fits comfortably against the neck of a wearer. Bowtie clips in accordance with disclosed embodiments can include a front portion that comprises a flat surface. A first clip is attached to the front portion, where the first clip includes a first gripping element and a second gripping element. Similarly, a second clip is attached to the front portion. The second clip can be substantially similar to the first clip. The second clip can also include a first gripping element and a second gripping element. The first clip and second clip can clip on to the collar tabs of a shirt in order to secure the bowtie to a shirt.
