Picture a Prohibition-era gangster strolling into a Halloween party with one detail nobody can miss: a neon yellow bow tie. This yellow bow tie adds a jolt of colour to a dark suit, a plain white shirt or a pinstriped mobster outfit, and it quickly becomes the part of your costume people talk about. That bright neon shade also suits a game-show host, a mad scientist or a party clown with flair.

Dressing up as a group? Give every member of the crew a yellow bowtie for a matching gang, or mix colours for a rainbow line-up. Pair it with the zoot suit gangster costume and a black fedora with white stripes, then add an AK-47 machine gun for the group photo.

It is sold individually, so grab one for each guest. Add it to your cart and let the colour do the talking!
