What can you say about ties? First thought which comes to almost everyone‘s mind is that ties are the main men’s‘ accessory for smart look. But that’s not the only use of ties. Women want to have the tailored sleek look so they also wear ties.
Ties are also good for women who want to be women. Sleek, skinny ties look good with the secretary look. It adds to the 'separates' i.e. the shirt/skirt or the shirt/trousers - the tailored, a sleek office girl look.
Of course ties are accessories. With the boyish chic look last year and the androgynous look previously, ties were certainly important. If you want to look like a woman looking like a man – use a tie as an accessory. The thing is that women want to be women. They want to use ties in their own way.
Some stylists might say that a tie isn't necessary to complete the tailored look. It is too much of an extra and they may be right. But you can use ties as a centre piece in the 'look'. You can wear the office chic look and for this a tie is important but it may not be essential of course. Some 'looks' for office girls do not have any ties. However, regarding skinny ties on a tailored shirts clinging to the body, this is an important look.
This is an office look. What about wide ties instead of the skinny ones? When summer season starts - can a tie be important for your look? A wide glossy 'glam' tie, which gives the 'color' to a look. For men, the tie was a 'color'; it added color to the whole appearance.
Sometimes, women are different. For them, a tie seems to be above all an accessory; it is not as important as for a man but that doesn't mean a tie doesn't have it's place in women fashion.
The boyish look was important in 2006 when ties were needed for this. Now, as fashion moves on from a boyish chic and military before this, ties are still important because they give color and glamour.
A tie can be the center piece. It can be a 'piece of color' in the center or it can be a piece of color around the neck (short tie). A tie is an accessory but it can be an accessory which aims to add color.
When we think of ties, it is men's wear accessory which go with suits. It is a necessity for smart look but a tie for women is an accessory, i.e. as regards fashion. As a boyish look and a military look go - a tie can be used. Yes, it will always be there for the 'sexy office girl look' which is popular and also as an accessory in high fashion. Tailored shirts will always be in fashion for women and a tie is an important extra to this kind of look.
But maybe there is more to ties than skinny ties. What about a broad short tie which adds color? What about a 'neckerchief'- a covering for the neck or a bow tie or a jabot shirts? Remember ties were the 'color' for men's suits. Maybe they can be the same for women.
So for all those women who still think that a tie is just a men accessory it should prove that it is not. Women can play using ties as well as men. For different looks ties fit women very well.
