Recently, a unisex style has been dominating in fashion, which is designed to erase the boundaries between male and female, making them equal. It applies to clothing, shoes, perfumes, accessories. A striking representative of the style is a women's tie, which will appeal to independent and confident girls!
Features
A tie is an accessory primarily made of fabric that is tied around the neck. Its name translates as “neck scarf,” and for a long time it was exclusively a male element of clothing.
For the first time he was tried on by a Frenchwoman - the Duchess Louise de Lavalier, who lived at the turn of the XVII-XVIII centuries. And only at the beginning of the twentieth century, this element of a gentleman's set finally settled in the wardrobe of beautiful ladies.
A tie on a woman attracts increased attention, so it must be of high quality.
This accessory does not have many features. One of them - a tie can be made from almost any, even very unusual material to us. From lace and denim to leather or beads.
A female tie is usually above the waistline, often it ends at the neckline. In a business image, a model of classical length will be appropriate, and a short one is suitable for an informal image.
There are no restrictions with the width either - it is allowed to be very narrow, the size of a ribbon, and as wide as possible. In any case, the second end of the accessory should be hidden behind its front side.
What is the difference from man?
As you already understood, the female model is distinguished by sophistication, and this is its main difference from the male one. The tie of the stronger sex is always strict geometric shape, symmetrical and long.
A man can wear a woman’s tie only if he is a fan of non-standard shocking images. A woman, on the contrary, can safely wear a men's accessory, just moving the knot lower.
The thing is that gentlemen wear ties when they want to emphasize the solidity and significance of their image. Today, they often use them either in a business wardrobe, or for a special occasion.
This is an unusual accessory for a lady; it allows you to show your originality, create an unusual look to attract attention. Be sure that with a tie you will not go unnoticed.
