Fashion Trend Alert: Tie-Neck Blouses
Image: GAP.com
“THESE PRODUCTS ARE NO LONGER BEING SOLD”
In the past, only certain types of women have been able to truly pull off menswear , Katharine Hepburn among them. Right now though, aspects of menswear are appearing all over, giving everyone the opportunity to be a little androgynous. But don’t think of the 1980’s working woman blouse with the limp, sad-looking bow at the neck when you picture this trend. This year’s tie-neck blouse has sharper lines, comes in a variety of fabrics, and it doesn’t have to be worn with a business suit.
The button down, pseudo men’s tie: Fitted tie neck shirt, GAP, $32.99
The Technicolor checkered billowy tie: Printed tie-neck shirt, Old Navy, $15.00
The satin, knotted tie: City Style Wide Tie Satin blouse, NY and Company, $24.46.
The sheer, sparkly long tie: Black tie striped chiffon tie-neck blouse, Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent, Bluefly.com, $55.00.
The boldly printed tie: JM Collection Tie-Neck Printed Charmeuse Blouse, Macys.com, $44.00.
The fuchsia bow tie: Nicole by Nicole Miller tie-neck top, JCPenney.com, $33.60.

This is a style I have always liked - whether in or out of fashion - but I like the contrast between my roundness and the masculinity of the men’s wear - maybe for a more basically lanky and androgenous type it would be too much?
I saw this trend at Target today. For a short sleeve, button down, men’s tie-inspired shirt, here’s one by Merona for $17.99:

This shirt looks better when seen at the store. It has a pattern of tiny black dots. I think it would look cute with a black sweater vest over it!
