Women have shown that when a fashion item is believed to be just for men....they can take it and make it better. Just look at tuxedoes, trench coats, hats and of course, ties. If men can look good, women can look great! Every year, the fashion trends demonstrate that certain looks, once considered male domains, are quickly becoming fashionable for women to wear.

 

However, the wearing of women's ties, as with many breakthroughs...lies in history, and in war time.

 

But even before the First World War, the changing silhouette of women in the early 1900s meant the introduction of stiff collars and ties, narrower skirts and higher hemlines, giving a more columnar look (a move away from bustles and corsets). Prior to the 20th century, it was not just men who wore ties, in the 1800s women wore them while bicycling, skating, hiking, or boating. Ladies ties soon became prominent in schools and universities, becoming very fashionable.

 

The advent of war, however, proved liberating for women, and this was not only represented in women's suffrage, but in the way they dressed. With the men away at the front, they took their places in factories and in business, and thus, the business woman sporting ties became more common place. The ladies tie becomes a symbol of her liberation, taking up her position in the work place and warranting respect.

 

Now to the present day...the ladies tie; not only does it add a finishing touch of sophistication, it also adds instant sex appeal. Ladies ties are generally worn with a loose knot, if you are going for a prep school look, incorporate a collared shirt or cardigan...it works for Britney Spears, Halle Berry and Jennifer Aniston, why not try it? Your ladies tie can be worn loose, knotted over your breastbone. Leave the top couple of buttons on your blouse undone to soften the whole look.

 

When choosing your ladies tie, slim ties are both flattering and feminine. Ladies ties can be worn with formal shirts or feminine blouses, skirts or trousers. You are taking what is essentially a man's fashion item but not dressing like a man. Ladies ties show confidence, sex appeal, they make you stand out from the crowd...this is all about you making a fashion statement, setting yourself apart.
