Womens tie
Recently, unisex style dominates in fashion, which is designed to erase the lines between male and female, making them equal. It concerns clothes, shoes, perfumes, accessories. A striking representative of the style is a women's tie, which will appeal to independent and self-confident girls!
Peculiarities
A tie is an accessory, predominantly made of fabric, that is tied around the neck. Its name translates as "neckerchief", and for a long time it was an exclusively masculine element of clothing.
For the first time it was tried on by a Frenchwoman - Duchess Louise de Lavaliere, who lived at the turn of the XVII-XVIII centuries... And only at the beginning of the twentieth century, this element of the 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 doesn't have many features. One of them - a tie can be made from almost any material, even very unusual to us. From lace and denim to leather or beading.
A woman's tie is usually above the waistline, often ending at the neckline. In a business look, a classic-length model will be appropriate, and a short one is suitable for an informal look.
There are no restrictions on the width either - either very narrow, the size of a ribbon, or as wide as possible is allowed. In any case, the other end of the accessory must be hidden behind its face.
How is it different from a man's?
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 representatives of the stronger sex is always of a 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 man's accessory, just by shifting the knot down.

For a lady, this is an unusual accessory, it allows you to show your originality, create an unusual look to attract attention. Be sure that you will not go unnoticed with a tie.
