The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Please explain whether neck tie or bow ties are allowed or not, in Islam.

Answer

The attire of suit, tie and bow tie originated from the West.

Generally, an attire resembles a culture and ideology. By wearing a western attire, one will be imitating and indirectly promoting a culture and ideology that is in sharp contrast to Islamic ideology and principles.
