Stitch, those are nice ensembles, but I specifically excepted *black tie* bowties from my point. Black tie formal bowties can look sexy and masculine. Standard bow ties, not so much.
As for neckties, the pattern matters too. Personally, the patterns I find most stunning and sexy are pin dot and madder paisley. Eg, http://www.ralphlauren.com/graphics/prod...60x480.jpg

Stripes are a little too business-ish, IMO. There are nice geometric patterns, but there's something just so fine about a well done pin dot pattern.
