Need a political bow tie for the RNC? Hit The Tie Bar.
Are you a budding neckwear enthusiast like TV's Tucker Carlson?
Have you always envied the sartorial sensibilities of special friends Harry Truman and Winston Churchill?
Perhaps you'd like to channel the mid-century sophistication of a young Prince Charles.
Or maybe you just need to cut the small talk and get some swag.
Whatever your tastes, a bow tie is a good investment if you're planning to attend any of the Republican National Convention mania here in Tampa next week. A bow tie has smarts and personality. It says, "I understand the intricacies of the debt ceiling, but I won't turn down that mojito if you're buying."
The Tie Bar has a promotion to help you out. If you spend $75 or more at the online store, you'll get a free political party-themed straight tie or bow tie. This is America, so you get to pick your poison. Enter promotion code "Elephants" or "Donkeys" at checkout through Aug. 26. Here are your choices.
This isn't just for the gents. There's nothing stopping the ladies from sporting some neck panache. It worked for Carrie Bradshaw.

Katie Sanders foolishly spurned pretty dresses and shoes as a child, tossing new clothes over her shoulder at birthday parties with a totally rude "no, thank you." Her drab days of monocolor outfits are over now, and she certainly knows better than to turn down free stuff. Her wardrobe mixes classic with quirk. Think blazers with statement necklaces, and lots of patterned ballet flats. She can be reached at 850) 224-7263 or 
Kameel Stanley has never encountered a thrift store she didn’t like. Her mother taught her that the true value of clothes isn’t how much they cost, but how many outfits one can create from them.

There’s a lot of turnover in her closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can be reached at (727) 893-8643 or 
A disciple of the little black dress classics school, Letitia Stein stretches her budget by looking for styles with staying power.

She can be reached at (813) 226-3400 or
