Here’s how to wear the trend for 2023.

Hats, scarves, and jewelry have long been go-to solutions for spicing up an outfit, but in recent months, another accessory has been bubbling up in the fashion world. Ties — which, traditionally, have been considered a menswear staple — are something that celebrities can’t seem to get enough of as of late. Whether on the red carpet or at an event, modern-day fashion icons pair them with their looks, adding welcome flair to their classic button-down or blazer.

We’re tempted to give this preppy styling choice a try ourselves, and, thankfully, there are plenty of fun options available to shop (like this one from Saint Laurent and this sparkly one from Kara). However, considering how ties can easily bring us back to Y2K (it’ll forever remind us of Avril Lavigne!), we’ll also take all the inspiration can. Ahead we’re rounding up our favorite celebrity-approved ways to wear a tie, ahead.
