The verdict is in. Women in ties are cool. The androgynous theme is an edgy symphony of attitude and style sensibilities. Incorporating ties has transcended beyond obligatory office wear to creative and adventurous selections. From classic and professional to trendy and fun, the trend adopts various renditions, providing a slew of options for fashionistas to get their steeze on.
The sacred traditional methods of wearing ties have been jazzed up with liberating translations, which would have only been fed by imagination. This season, rocking ties with any fashion piece is wild. But what’s much wilder is sitting pretty on traditions and missing out on an opportunity to make a suave submission. Whether it’s to a concert, grabbing brunch with friends, or gracing a cocktail party, leveraging ties is a must-do for those who take fashion seriously.
Check out the chic ways women are wearing ties this season…
#1. Classic professional
A traditional business look with a blazer, button-down shirt, and a neatly-knotted tie is still a potent offering. A full-on suit tailored to precision also makes the mark. There’s something about classic business wear and the polished vibe it yields. A competent professional understands that dressing up nicely is a tool of influence. This season, super-charge your influence with a classic tie look that delivers.

#2. Slim shady
A playful and elegant option to consider is a dress shirt paired with a high-waisted skater skirt or bell-bottomed trousers. Punch things up with accessories like sleek sunglasses and gloves. This makes for a chic, contemporary appearance.
#3. Wide-leg pants
A casual look with a loosely knotted tie over a crisp shirt is easy but still interesting. Style this with wide-leg pants and a maxi tote to reiterate the casual flair.
#4. Edgy fly
A rich blend of moto fashion in white-and-black delivery is worth exploring. Edgy thigh-high boots and detailed shorts worn with a crisp white shirt and tie are top-tier and far from basic. Wearing breathable leather in summer works, and good styling helps breathe life into regular coordination.

#5. Preppy denim
We love women wearing ties, but make it unofficial with a college kid theme. Opt for denim shorts and a waistcoat for a youthful outlook. To enforce the student style, incorporate socks and loafers. The head-to-toe rendering is put-together with a nostalgic knack.
#6. Sharp tints
While we often see ties in black-and-white coordinates, there’s room to break out of this with bold tints. Go the rebellious route in a code-red suit-and-tie combo. It’s a bold and stylish departure from the traditional laid-back colors.
Don a red shorts suit set with a white button-down shirt and sheer tights for warmth and finesse. Punctuate the ensemble with sleek white pumps. This sophisticated look can be worn to almost every gathering, as it gives off both formal and semi-formal vibes.
#7. Layered serve
Wearing a tie under a sweater, oversized blazer, or cardigan, with just the knot in sight makes for a sophisticated layered effect. Even in the dead of summer, some ladies won’t pass up an opportunity to layer pieces, especially on cooler days. If the fit becomes too bulky, opt for lightweight fabrics–but layers, we must!
#8. Skirt swag
Ties with every variation of skirt is welcome. Test the waters with midi flare skirts and cropped blazers to emphasize your boss-babe status.

#9. Bow tie chic
A scarf tied into a bow around the neck does its bit, but an actual bow tie slaps. A white blazer contrasting with a black bow tie provides a stronger and more feminine alternative to a traditional tie.
#10. Wrap dress/coats
Consider wearing a structured print wrap dress styled with a tie and wide-brim hat. Keep the colors uncomplicated and in sync. The trusted black-and-white combo is a safe bet. Pair this with a mini bag and patent pumps for a ready officewear delight.
#11. Indie sleaze
The messy girl aesthetic is an amazing tug at quiet luxury and everything put-together. Ride on the beautiful chaos wave with eclectic coordinations. Choose a messy skirt and sport it with layers of cropped tops, thigh-high platform shoes, and the signature unkempt hairdo. Remember to slip in a tie into this grungy mix.
#12. Shimmers
A creative twist is to wear a tie with an elevated mini party frock. You immediately go from disco to school girl by adding a unique accessory to the outfit. For a feminine and softer feel, choose subtle pink tones and combine them with the predictable black and white.
#13. Oversized fashion
Breezy jackets, worn as stand-alone pieces with sleek boots, or a moto jacket on oversized bottoms all offer adequate services to the women wearing ties bandwagon. You can also rock a full menswear-inspired ensemble featuring a tailored suit, dress shirt, and tie, with a fedora (or any other hat) to complete the look.

#14. The no-pants fad
Well knotted and slinky all at once. Hop on the pantless trend with sequined bottoms and business-ready coordinates consisting of a crisp shirt, a waistcoat, and a blazer. This is an interesting juxtaposition of daytime marvel and nighttime sass.
#15. Dressy steeze
Wearing a midi dress with a tie perfectly combines flirty femininity with polished structure. Take that structure even further with a fitted blazer and chic pumps, and stand on business everywhere you go.
