Wing collars were usually worn with neckwear. They were commonly worn with neckties tied in very large knots--these large knots were called Windsors. This is how adult men wore them. And this is how teenagers also wore them. Younger boys might wear bows, but this ws not very common because younger boys did not commonly wear these wing collars. We do not see the really large bows that boys wore with lace and ruffled collars. But we do see modestly sized bows. They may have been worn with other neckwear, but we usually see them with Windsor knots.
