The [[Second Doctor]]'s bow tie appeared along with his other clothes when his first incarnation [[regenerated]] with [[the TARDIS]]' assistance. As with the rest of his clothing, the Second Doctor's bow tie was untidy and crumpled; it was a small pre-tied dark tie with small spots, attached to his collar with a safety pin.

([[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'') During his period of [[retirement]] after losing [[Amy Pond]] and [[Rory Williams]], the Eleventh Doctor changed his outfit to something more befitting his sojourn in Victorian London, but put on a bow tie again when spurred back into adventure by [[Clara Oswin Oswald]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'') He wore both classic and clip-on bow ties and told [[Alice Obiefune]] that he wore clip-ons because someone had once tried to use his bow tie to throttle him.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Roots of Evil (short story)|The Roots of Evil]]'') The [[Twelfth Doctor]] also dismissed bow ties as "embarrassing". ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'') However, upon seeing [[Adrian Davies]], a teacher at [[Coal Hill School]] with a fashion sense reminiscent of his previous incarnation, complete with bow tie, he responded more favourably because he was under the mistaken impression that he was the boyfriend of his [[companion]] [[Clara Oswald]], taking pride in that she was dating a man resembling him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'')
The [[Tenth Doctor]] usually wore a necktie, but on some occasions dressed up in formal wear, including a bow tie.

The Eleventh Doctor adopted a bow tie along with the other clothes he stole from Royal Leadworth Hospital soon after his regeneration. (TV: The Eleventh Hour [+]Loading...["The Eleventh Hour (TV story)"]) He was extremely fond of his bow tie and would often insist that "bow ties are cool", despite his companions' criticism. (TV: The Eleventh Hour [+]Loading...["The Eleventh Hour (TV story)"], Vincent and the Doctor [+]Loading...["Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)"], The Lodger [+]Loading...["The Lodger (TV story)"], A Christmas Carol [+]Loading...["A Christmas Carol (TV story)"], etc.) He wore bow ties in burgundy, (TV: The Eleventh Hour [+]Loading...["The Eleventh Hour (TV story)"]) navy, (TV: Victory of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Victory of the Daleks (TV story)"]) carmine, (AUDIO: The World Tree) and blue. (TV: The Impossible Astronaut [+]Loading...["The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)"]) He also included a white bow tie as part of his formal wear, seen during Amy and Rory's wedding (TV: The Pandorica Opens [+]Loading...["The Pandorica Opens (TV story)"]) and on the occasion of his death. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler [+]Loading...["Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)"]) During his period of retirement after losing Amy Pond and Rory Williams, the Eleventh Doctor changed his outfit to something more befitting his sojourn in Victorian London, but put on a violet purple bow tie again when spurred back into adventure by Clara Oswin Oswald. (TV: The Snowmen [+]Loading...["The Snowmen (TV story)"]) He varied the patterns of his violet bow ties to include wheat, (TV: The Bells of Saint John [+]Loading...["The Bells of Saint John (TV story)"]) chevron squares, (TV: The Rings of Akhaten [+]Loading...["The Rings of Akhaten (TV story)"]) polka-dotts, (TV: Cold War [+]Loading...["Cold War (TV story)"]) flowers, (TV: Nightmare in Silver [+]Loading...["Nightmare in Silver (TV story)"]) and thistles. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"]) He wore both classic and clip-on bow ties and told Alice Obiefune that he wore clip-ons because someone had once tried to use his bow tie to throttle him. (TV: The Bells of Saint John [+]Loading...["The Bells of Saint John (TV story)"], COMIC: The Friendly Place [+]Loading...["The Friendly Place (comic story)"]) Before his regeneration into the Twelfth Doctor, he removed it and let it drop to the floor as a sign of his upcoming change. (TV: The Time of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Time of the Doctor (TV story)"]) The Twelfth Doctor dismissed bow ties as "embarrassing". (TV: Time Heist [+]Loading...["Time Heist (TV story)"]) However, upon seeing Adrian Davies, a teacher at Coal Hill School with a fashion sense reminiscent of his previous incarnation, complete with a bow tie, he responded more favourably because he was under the mistaken impression that he was the boyfriend of his companion Clara Oswald, taking pride in that she was dating a man resembling him. (TV: The Caretaker [+]Loading...["The Caretaker (TV story)"])

He would later compliment Osgood on her "nice bow tie", which she took to wearing after meeting his predecessor, to which she quoted him "bow ties are cool". Osgood's bow tie would later be disintergrated along with herself by Missy. (TV: Death in Heaven [+]Loading...["Death in Heaven (TV story)"]) However, it later became unclear if the Osgood that got disintegrated was the actual Osgood or her Zygon double, (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"], The Zygon Invasion [+]Loading...["The Zygon Invasion (TV story)"], The Zygon Inversion [+]Loading...["The Zygon Inversion (TV story)"]) which meant the bow tie could have been part of a Zygon transformation and not actual clothing. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"]) Some accounts suggest it was indeed the Zygon Osgood who Missy killed.
