Neckties are having a moment. Spotted all over fashion week, from the runways (Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Jonathan Anderson’s debut at Dior) to the front row (Daniel Craig, Robert Pattinson, Lennon Gallagher), they’re also popping up on TikTok and Instagram.

However, if you’re not a celeb or someone who does regular GRWM TikToks, trussing up in one (when it’s not mandated in the dress code) may feel a little too much of a statement. With the right styling (ie avoiding looking like you’re cosplaying Don Draper), though, a tie can give your look extra punch in all the right ways.
