All Tied Up
Ties have made a silent comeback into the modern day woman's fashion - not as a trend, but as a statement. They have taken a new role from traditional corporate uniform to personal signature, staking title as a symbol of self-assured femininity.
Paired with a cropped white button-up and blazer or snazzy two-piece set, the tie that once stood for rigidity becomes less about format and more about a statement. Not only is it unorthodox to the naked eye, but it adds a unique touch to the style of choice.
Personally, I think it's FAD.
Coming from a corporate background myself, the structured piece seemed nothing more than a simple ingredient that was to complete a meal. No particular emphasis on what was different about the everyday.
A simple step out into the world after the clock hits 3p, seeing a tie on the look of a fashionable woman opens the eye a bit more. Or the perspective rather.
That's all that it really is. Life is what you make it!
Rewriting the curriculum is the formula of the stylish tool. It's not about borrowing from the men's section, but creating a new role for it.
After all, fluidity is fabulous.
3 Fad Ways to Wear
The designers and persons of style of today are treating the tie as the new silk scarf.
Layer It Over a Blazer
The traditional route of things, the good old fashioned way. Layering the tie over a blazer as a woman is a chic way to visually give you a "Power Move" look.
Pair with Low-Strung Trousers
Moreso of a 90's look, pairing your tie with a set of low-strung trousers will give you an effortless look that combines casual with a slight off-duty model effect.
Knot Over Bare Skin
The most daring look of them all, a knot over bare skin. Sensuality meets elevation. While it can help you to build your outfit starting with the tie, rather than adding as the cherry on top, it is a bold statement to seal the deal.
"Think less Wall Street, more candlelit boardroom - silk, strength, and self-possession in one perfect knot."
While fashion constantly moves in cycles, meaning continues to evolve. The tie has never been just an accessory. It is a symbol of evolution for the modern day woman. A conversation.
And this time, it's women leading it.
