The Second Doctor's bow tie appeared along with his other clothes when his first incarnation regenerated with the TARDIS' assistance.

(TV: 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 violet purple bow tie again when spurred back into adventure by Clara Oswin Oswald.

(TV: The Caretaker)

(TV: Death in Heaven) 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, The Zygon Invasion / The Zygon Inversion) which meant the bow tie could have been part of a camouflage and not actual clothing.
