Formally the tie that was meant for the office or uniformity and known to be for made men, has changed the narrative it has left the boardroom, embraced women and is now on the runway and streets. In 2025, it’s no longer an ordinary fabric and has become fashion’s boldest accessory, transforming looks with attitude, elegance, and a touch of rebellion.

From Uniform to Statement

For decades, ties carried the weight of conformity: crisp, conservative, and predictable. Today, they’ve been reimagined into something playful, versatile, and fiercely stylish. The new tie is slim, glossy, and often worn with intention rather than obligation. Whether knotted loosely over a shirt, draped around the neck with a slip dress, or cinched at the waist as a belt, it has become the ultimate styling trick small in size, but big in statement.

Women Reclaiming the Tie

What once symbolized corporate authority is now being rewritten as a tool of self-expression. Recently on runways, ties appeared alongside sheer blouses, sequined skirts, and low-slung trousers. The effects were powerful: sharp structure blended with feminine ease. Celebrities have also embraced the look, leather, satin or silk ties for flair, sensuality and timeless sophistication. Worn loosely undone or with bold tailoring, the tie no longer follows the rules, it’s breaking them.

Runway to Real Life

Designers are giving the tie new life by experimenting with proportion, texture, and context. Oversized blazers with dangling ties, silk neckwear against naked skin, and even metallic versions for the evening, these new interpretations have transformed the item into a versatile piece. Off the runway, the streets have followed suit. Fashion insiders have been seen wearing ties over graphic tees, stacking them with hefty jewellery, and knotting them casually with denim. It’s effortless, a touch revolution, and unquestionably stylish.

A Symbol of Rebellion and Freedom

Perhaps what makes the tie resonate in 2025 is its layered meaning. Once tied to rigidity and mainly masculine codes of dress, it has been reclaimed as a symbol of individuality. A loosely knotted tie can suggest both polish and defiance. Styled with ripped denim, it feels rebellious. Paired with an evening gown, it flips the script on traditional elegance. Either way, the tie now whispers one thing: fashion on your own terms.

How to Tie It Into Your Wardrobe

Loosen Up: In 2025, the perfect Windsor knot is no longer in style. Ties look best when they are a little undone.

Be Versatile With Your Choice: Choose satin, leather, velvet, or metallic fabrics. They add instant personality.

Mix Masculine and Feminine: Wear tailored blazers over a mini skirt or a slip dress.

Think Beyond the Collar: Don’t limit yourself to the collar. Try using a tie as a belt, a bag accessory, or even tied around your wrist.

The Final Word

The tie’s breakout is proof that the smallest accessories can carry the loudest voice. Once seen as restrictive, has now become the accessory of freedom, boldness, versatility, and unafraid. In 2025, wearing a tie isn’t about dressing for the office. It’s about dressing for yourself.

So, knot it, drape it, belt it, or twist it. The tie isn’t asking for permission anymore—it’s now the attention.

Olivier Rousteing Exits Balmain

After more than a decade of redefining modern luxury with his fearless ideas, inclusive vision, and celebrity-driven influence Olivier Rousteing is officially leaving his post as Balmain’s creative director.

The 40-year-old designer, who’s led the Parisian house since 2011, broke the news himself on Instagram this Wednesday. “Today marks the end of my Balmain era,” he wrote, calling it both “a love story” and “a life story.” His post felt deeply personal thankful, nostalgic, and proud.

Balmain confirmed his exit soon after, thanking him for his “visionary approach” and hinting that a new creative direction will be announced “in due course.”

When Rousteing first took charge at just 25: he made headlines for two reasons, his age and his presence. He was one of the youngest ever to lead a major Parisian fashion house and one of the few Black designers at that level. Over 14 years, he took Balmain from a quiet couture label to a world-recognized luxury brand.

His aesthetic was easy to spot: sharp shoulders, structured cuts, and high-shine finishes. But what really set him apart was how he understood fame and community. Even before fashion lived online, Rousteing had already built his own tribe, the Balmain Army, fronted by Rihanna, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and Naomi Campbell, women who carried his brand of fearless of glamour.

Rousteing’s runways felt more like music events than fashion shows. Lights, sound, energy, and a sense that everyone in the room belonged. He made luxury feel inclusive, without losing its edge.

His own story only deepened that message. Born in Bordeaux and adopted as a baby, Rousteing discovered later in life that his birth parents were of Somali and Ethiopian descent. That revelation became part of his creative voice; his collections often reflected identity, resilience, and a longing to belong.

A defining chapter closes, no doubt. Rousteing leaves Balmain with a legacy. And knowing him, this isn’t the end of the story, it’s the beginning of something new.
