Your little man’s idea of dressing up is a Superman cape and Underoos.

But when the invite calls for something more formal, it’s Poly & Twiggy to the rescue. The new collection of hassle-free slipknot ties was inspired by local designer Chris Vea’s days as a knot-obsessed Boy Scout.

The result: a stylish tie that simply folds, slips, and snaps into place. With trendy designs (think black fish scales and skulls) printed on cotton, the ties are a fashionable parent’s answer to the clip-on, zipper, and elastic varieties.

Pair one with a suit or slip it on over a tee — and just like that, you’ve got yourself a modern-day Clark Kent.

Available at Eggy, 8365 West Third Street, at South Kings Road (323-658-8882 or shopeggy.com); La La Ling, 1810 North Vermont Avenue, between Russell and Melbourne Avenues (323-664-4400 or lalaling.com), $18-$22. For more information, go to polyandtwiggy.com.
