Go for a tie. As everyone else has said bowties really only work with a tux. They just look wrong otherwise.

Ties man, Bowties are very old school and VERY hard to pull off these days without looking silly.

Personally, I'm a tie man.

Bow ties are fine for rare occasions, like a wedding, and then only with a tux.

Ties are just awesome. You can wear a tie in most day to day sinarios without looking like an ass. Bowties only look good in a girls hair.

You have to be pretty hardcore to pull off a bowtie properly.

Now the bolo-- now we're talkin'.

Preferably with a HUGE, GAUDY, TURQUOISE clasp.

Well... Bowties are much more suitable for a wedding or a waiter or something like that, while ties are for everything else. Also, bowties are much harder to tie

I've worn both, and I guess it depends on what's going on. For example, I prefer to wear a tie to run of the mill fancy-dress parties. The ones where I wear my kilt or whatever. But there are some instances where I would prefer to wear a bowtie, such as conducting a concert band or something like that.

On the whole, I prefer ties. Bowties can be awesome, but in my opinion, only on a dinner jacket (or 'tuxedo' if you're not British), however, if you wear a dinner jacket too much, it lose its originality on you, and so for that reason, I generally prefer ties.
