But what’s one space that has always seemed particularly sparse for the franchise? Male clothing. Men’s accessories have always been a little lackluster at best, particularly for the formalwear category, with very few options in the base game or most expansions. So we’ve hunted down our favorite iconic accessory for men: the bow tie. Now you can jazz up any masculine Sims’ wardrobe for their next big event.

Choose from over 30 different flamboyant colors to rock, from the classic black tie look, to eye-catching modern pastel swatches. Available for teens, adults, and elder age groups, your male Sims will be ready for any red carpet event in no time.
