Fashion Friday Spotlight: The Tie


There has always been something elegant, chic and sexy about a woman wearing a tie, and women have been wearing them for decades. And wearing a man’s tie was made popular by the likes of Marlena Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn which at the time was considered shocking and provacative, and then the tie showed up again with Anne Hall an iconic character played by Diane Keaton. This spring the necktie has a spotlight which is a nice added detail following last year’s boyfriend look. We are seeing them in floral prints, strips, chiffon, leather string, ties used as bows and bright colors, all adding a little boyish look with feminine colors and feel.

The necktie this spring is a great time to insert a pop of color to a wardrobe, try a colorful tie or a tone on tone look with a tie,(a white tie on a white shirt, pink tie on pink shirt). Any tie this spring is a wonderful way to
add a little playful dandy touch to your wardrobe by
way of one of the oldest accessory around,
The Tie both for men and women.

  13. In the past a woman wearing a mens tie was considered to be a androgynous look, today its a elegant feminine look.
