Wearing a tie adds a stylish tomboy touch to your outfit.
Masculine fashion for women is a growing trend, inspired by current celebrities like Gwen Stefani and Rhianna. Wearing a long tie or a bow tie as an accessory also adds a rebellious, youthful "school girl" charm. Instead of reaching for a scarf or a long necklace, check out your boyfriend's closet and consider wearing a tie for an unexpected and bold fashion statement.
Sleek Wide-leg Pants
To balance out a casual, masculine look on top, look for flattering, well-fitting trousers. Wearing a button-down shirt and tie with black wide-leg pants and high heels. Pants should be fitted at the top and flare out to elongate your body. Tuck in your shirt to define your waist. This keeps the look long, lean and sexy.
Fitted Button-down Shirts
For a sexy twist on the masculine look, try wearing a crisp, fitted white button-down shirt with a loose tie. Undo a few buttons to keep the look feminine and alluring. If your button-down is long-sleeved, roll up the sleeves to show off your wrists. Leave the shirt untucked and casual and wear it over fitted pants or a pencil skirt. Accent this look with aviator sunglasses and chunky bracelets.
Cropped Vest
Make the tie trend go a long way by adding another masculine layer: a vest. Diane Keaton as "Annie Hall" in the Woody Allen movie made this look a fashion statement. Look for cropped, structured vests that fit your body shape. To keep the look simple, wear a plain white t-shirt underneath your vest or a white button-down. This style works well with a loose tie or a clip-on bow-tie. Adding a decorative accent, such as a flower pin, to your vest keeps the look youthful and feminine.
Full Skirt
Wear a full skirt for a fanciful, flirty twist. Pair a tie with a button-down or plain t-shirt with a high-waisted full skirt. For a youthful style, look for full skirts that hit above the knee. For a more vintage twist, try a skirt that hits just below the knee, or at the ankle. A bright, feminine floral print skirt looks great with a masculine tie.
