Go ahead and wear a bow tie with a button down collar. I would wear one that is made of something other than silk though depending on what your shirt material and pattern is. I would think a chambray shirt with a button down collar would look good with a wool tartan bow tie and a cardigan. A button down collar is more casual than other collars so you would have to choose a bow tie that has a touch of casual about it.
