Neck tie turns feminine:
Women are borrowing from the boys in a way that blurs the gender gap , and their latest weapon in a men's wear staple-the necktie
ORIGINS:
Diane Keaton's iconic vest and tie in Annie hall , the 1977 classic film directed by woody Allen , and Hollywood actress Marlene dietrich's androgynous suits and ties.
COMEBACK IN:

SPOTTED ON:
International style icons like freida pinto and Victoria Beckham , Indian actresses Sonam kapoor and Kangana ranaut.
WHAT WE LOVE:
A sweater with an embellished sequin tie , spotted on Jessica Alba , is a quirky alternative to the basic shirt & tie combo. when a women wears a tie , it never fails to catch the eye.
HOW TO SPORT IT:
A sparkly short tie glams up a cute one-piece. wear a skinny tie with a fitted shirt or on a waistcoat. diagonal stripe designs are simple yet classy and elegant.
Accessories-like dangling earrings , mirrored sun glasses and stacks of bracelets-jazz up a masculine pantsuit.
WHAT NOT TO DO:
Avoid looking like you are trying to dress like a man. avoid buttoned collars. a check shirt and check tie combo is a big no. don't let the back tip of tie show. if you strain your tie buy a new one. never ever send a tie to the laundry. loose ties around the neck can look hip but you want class , tie it tight.
