Women Bringing Back Jacket-and-Necktie Look

More and more women are sporting the jacket-and-necktie combo! The look was recently worn by singer Doechii and actress Nicole Kidman. Even Billie Eilish sells a tie as part of her official merch. “I like the movement in a men’s garment and the wider, boxier silhouette,” content creator and architect Yasmine Tangou said. “People don’t expect it on a woman.” Fashion historian Linda Welters noted that neckties were also worn by suffragettes fighting for women’s right to vote at the start of the 20th Century. “There’s a growing perception that married women do fine at home, but designers are challenging this by styling women in jackets and ties which project authority and power,” Welters commented.
