From Hollywood premieres to Indian red carpets, men are increasingly embracing distinctive accessories to add personality and flair to their ties, proving that sometimes the smallest details make the biggest statement.From Karan Johar's bold, braided tie to Ranveer Singh's sleek, modern designs, Indian celebrities have been flaunting their fancy brooches on the red carpet, at weddings, and even on social media. “Ties are no longer just embellishments; they are statements of personality and sophistication.
Men today are exploring accessories with a newfound confidence.

These elements allow men to break conventions and add layers of personality to their wardrobes,” says designer Saggar Mehra.
At the autumn edition of Bombay Times Fashion Week, designer Umang Mehta’s menswear collection saw multiple bow tie styled differently. “In a world where fashion often feels homogenized, unique brooches allow men to express themselves creatively.
When we were curating our collection, we wanted to play a lot with brooches.
Fashion for men is anyway very restrictive.
Designers often play with sheer fabrics and that is all we could do for menswear.
However, a brooch can just change an entire look.
We wanted to play with the brooch and make the collection apart from others," Umang shares.
While ties define one’s personal style, they also define a designer’s expression.
