Macho Chic

I must admit that when I think about styling a tie, I picture images of Diane Keaton or Britney Spears asking to be “hit me one more time.” Fast forward to 2025, and brands like YSL are challenging us to add a touch of masculinity to our wardrobes.

Let’s be honest: a tie can easily be borrowed from any man's wardrobe. The red tie mentioned above actually belongs to a neighbour. Thrift stores often offer ties at very low prices. Learning how to tie a tie is a simple styling trick that can add colour and interest to any outfit.

YSL filled their front rows with popular influencers to promote their new collection this month. Whether you call it schoolboy prep or college-lad culture, the high street is racing to copy it.

I love the versatility that a tie offers, whether paired with an elegant tuxedo or distressed jeans. The jacket I'm wearing is the only Giorgio Armani piece I own, and the tie is my husband's "emergency funeral tie" that he keeps on standby. I was dressed and out the door in just five minutes—fabulous!

Diane Keaton made a striking impression on screen with her iconic waistcoat and tie, showcasing brilliantly crafted outfits in collaboration with Ralph Lauren. Throughout the years, she has boldly championed menswear, incorporating bow ties, braces, and stylish brogue shoes into her signature look.

The look has been reworked again, showcasing an elegant and stylish design. This standout style twist will turn heads, whether at work or during lunch. The men’s chunky watch takes this ensemble to iconic status—it’s simply unbeatable!

.Whether you choose a striped shirt or a polka dot tie, the options are virtually limitless. I firmly believe in the comfort and ease of styling a tie; it’s not just fun and playful, but a bold twist on tradition. Many men are ditching ties, recognizing them as restrictive and outdated—just as brogues have been rightly replaced by sneakers. Embrace the change and elevate your style!

Trends may come and go, but fashion should always be fun and never boring or restrictive. Embrace the idea of replacing a necklace or scarf with a bold decorative tie. When summer arrives, confidently loop it through your shorts as an eye-catching belt!
