I'm going to my uni ball this Friday and was adamant from day one that I will wear a bow tie, just feels right. Also, I feel that the black skinny tie is so overworn nowadays, especially to these types of events.
So, I was wondering what you all think. Bow tie or neck tie to formal (non-black tie) events?
PS. Wearing this beauty of a bow

Bowties can be more formal (as in, black-tie or white-tie), or they can be less so (think, psychiatrist, tweedy professor). If you're moving away from the semi-formal and formal uniforms, it's a somewhat more eccentric choice. But that's not to say that you can't find one with the right level of formality and dash.
I have no idea what the expected look at your event will be, but make sure it all works in context. Suit and shirt as well as the specific tie chosen will be important. If it is a black-tie event, of course, you can come close to faking it with a black (or very dark) suit and white shirt to go along with the black bowtie.

From past years, it seems to be a mix of ties vs. bow ties (majority with ties). Yeah, it's not a black-tie event so no worries on the suit. Just wanted to do something different to the norm.

Yeah, I know the code for a black tie event, this one isn't hence the bow tie chosen.
Yeah I'm definitely not going for the nutty professor look!

Then specify the type of the event accurately.

I'm guessing you are pinning the gay hipster label to the bow tie option?

At the moment, black suit, white shirt. But not 100% sure yet.

Bow-tie; although unless you're at least moderately swarthy of complexion, the example in question will look absurd.

Preferably go for grey/navy/brown suit. If you have to do black, then get a solid colour shirt and coloured/patterned tie.
