I have a theory about bow ties. Traditionally, longer clothing means more power. In the olden days, more powerful men would wear ties as poorer men would resort to bow ties. Somewhere along the way, it became that if you had a large sized penis, you would wear a tie. Men who had bow ties had..well…yea

Actually the opposite appears to be the case. Bow ties were a symbol of affluence, hence black tie is more formal than suit. My theory is ties evolved to cover plain buttons. If you wore a bow tie you wore expensive studs made of gems and precious metals.
look at this expensive cufflink and stud set. The studs would be hidden under a tie, but exposed when wearing a bow tie.
