The '''Bow tie''' is a recurring accessory in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a stylish piece of formal wear that was originally reserved for men, but later became a unisex piece of equipment.

==={{DQ6}}===
The Bow tie has a {{Defence}} bonus of +2 and a {{Style}} bonus of +33. It can be equipped by the {{Hero 6}}, [[Carver]], [[Nevan]], [[Terry]], [[Amos]], and [[Lizzie]]. The bow tie can be purchased at [[Turnscote]] for 2,400 [[gold]] coins and sold for 1,800 [[gold]] coins. It can also be dropped rarely by [[Wet kisser]]s and [[Thaumatobat]]s. If worn together with the [[Silk tuxedo]] for the [[Best-Dressed Contest]], it provides an extra +25 bonus to {{Style}}.

==={{DQ7}}===
The Bow tie has a {{Defence}} bonus of +2, a {{Style}} bonus of +15, and can be equipped by the {{Hero 7}}, [[Ruff]], and [[Sir Mervyn]]. The bow tie can be found in various locations, including the [[Palazzo di Bulgio]], [[El Monumento de Pomposo]] in the present, and [[Hubble]]. In the original [[Sony PlayStation]] version of the game, bow ties can be purchased at the Bazaar evolution of the [[The Haven|Immigrant Town]] for 2,400 [[gold]] coins. Once again, if it is worn with the [[Silk tuxedo]] when being graded for the [[Excellence Grading Organisation]] for {{Style}}, it provides an extra +25 {{Style}} bonus.
