THE WOMEN'S TIE: AN ACCESSORY, AN ATTITUDE, A MANIFESTO
I've always worn ties...
At 30, I wore it with a white shirt, a grey A-line mini skirt, black ballet flats… today it will be with an oversized shirt buttoned undone, wide-legged dress pants and dad shoes… I love blurring the lines between strong femininity and raw masculinity…
Long considered a masculine symbol, the tie is now making a remarkable comeback in women's wardrobes. But not as a mere fashion trend. At GRUNGEMAMA, we like to think of the tie as a strong style statement, a way to assert who you are, without trying to fit into any box.
Worn with a suit, jeans, a flowing dress, or even a simple white t-shirt, the Grungemama tie becomes a detail that changes everything. It breaks the rules, it subverts symbols, it tells a story that goes beyond a conventional or expected silhouette.
The tie, a symbol of self-assured women
To embrace the tie is also to reclaim an object long reserved for men, for the world of power, for the formal suit. Today, women no longer need to imitate or conform: they reinvent it. They wear the tie in their own way, with sensuality, humor, and freedom.
That's exactly the GRUNGEMAMA DNA:
a woman who doesn't try to impress,
but who accepts who she is.
A free woman, sometimes rock, sometimes bohemian, always true to herself.
An accessory that has stood the test of time
The tie is not new to women's fashion. Katharine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich, Madonna, Cate Blanchett, Charlotte Gainsbourg… It has already been adopted by strong and inspiring women, artists, intellectuals, and designers who rejected conventions. In every era when women have demanded more space, more freedom, and more visibility, the tie has reappeared as a discreet yet powerful symbol.
Even today, this comeback is not insignificant. It reflects a desire to regain control of one's image, to play with symbols, to no longer choose between feminine and masculine, but to dare a hybrid, personal, and confident style.
How to wear a tie in the GRUNGEMAMA style
There are no rules. Exactly.
– With a slightly open white shirt, for a chic casual look.
– Over a flowing dress, to break up the overly prim look.
– With jeans and a blazer, for an ultra-modern boyish look.
– Or even badly tied, almost carelessly, like a wink.
The women's tie then becomes an accessory of character, not a uniform.
More than an accessory: a posture
At GRUNGEMAMA, we don't just talk about clothes.
We're talking about attitude.
The way a woman enters a room.
The way she stands in the street.
It's that little detail that makes her feel stronger, more aligned, more herself.
A tie isn't for "looking like".
It's to reveal oneself.
