flag Women are wearing neckties as a feminist statement amid growing backlash against gender equality in the U.S.

flag Women are increasingly wearing neckties as a symbol of empowerment amid rising political and social pushback against gender equality, particularly in the U.S. flag High-profile figures like Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, Bella Hadid, and Oprah Winfrey have worn ties on red carpets and in public, reclaiming a traditionally masculine accessory to assert leadership and visibility in patriarchal spaces. flag Fashion experts note the trend echoes past feminist movements, from 19th-century activists to modern professionals, and aligns with periods when women’s rights face threats. flag The tie, originating in 17th-century Croatia, has long been adopted by feminist icons to challenge gender norms. flag Its resurgence reflects broader cultural tensions and the ongoing effort to redefine power and gender roles, while also influencing more casual, creative interpretations in men’s fashion.
