The Modern Family star and his husband Justin Mikita’s nonprofit Tie the Knot has teamed up with Ketel One vodka, designing a limited-edition “Martini” bow tie in honor of N.Y.C. Pride.
“Both TTK and Ketel One wanted to make a bold statement,” Mikita, 29, tells PEOPLE. “The whimsical twist of the martini glasses in the plaid print is a dynamic reinterpretation of Ketel One’s spirit.”
The Martini is available for purchase now at TheTieBar.com. And you’ll look fashionable for a good cause: 80 percent of proceeds go toward the advancement of same-sex marriage.
Read on to learn what Ferguson, 39, has to say about his summer wardrobe staples.
How would you describe your personal sense of style?
I have a very preppy sense of style. Love suiting and ties, but also really love suits that are bold and textured to make a statement.
Bow ties seem to be having a comeback: Why do you love the look more than slim ties?
Bow ties are fun and quirky — and a little bit off center. They’ve got so much personality and that’s why people like them.

How many bow ties do you own?
I have gotten one of every bow tie from Tie The Knot since 2012, so I must have over 400 different bows at this point… Not to mention my personal collection of others.
What’s your go-to fashion staple this summer?
This summer it’s HOT so I’m loving shorts and Chucks.
How are you spending N.Y.C. Pride this year?
Performing The Tempest in Shakespeare in the Park!
