At the end of 2023, we saw bows blow up in popularity — and I don’t see that changing in early 2024. Although some people aren’t fans of this fad, there’s no doubt that bows are trending; for proof, look no further than the Golden Globes red carpet.
From tying them around glass décor to wearing them for special occasions, bows are having a moment in fashion, and even interior design. Of course, they have been a statement piece since the ’20s, but now they are bigger and better than ever.
THE HAIR BOW TREND IS IN
I’ve seen so many people use the bow in such creative ways to amplify their hairstyles. From small bows to large, these accessories make your slicked-back style sleeker and more chic. The virtually limitless options for colors and textures make this trend even more fun and customizable. For instance, The Hair Edit website features a knotted tie with double bows to create a one-of-a-kind look ($5.85, thehairedit.com). Epona Valley also has come up with a fashionable way to wear a bow: the Madeline circlet, ($198, eponavalley.com).
THE BIGGER, THE BETTER
In fashion bows are being added to garments in the most imaginative ways. From coats and dresses to shirts and socks, they are becoming standout design elements. I’m in love with dresses that accentuate the shoulders, especially when a bow is involved.
For outerwear, I’m loving the coat by Lirika Matoshi ($600, lirikamatoshi.com). It’s the cutest piece and has so much personality. I also love bow details on dresses that create a 3D effect, like the Natalie and Alanna Brandy Brown Mini Dress ($375, natalieandalanna.com).
Love it or loathe it, the bow trend is here to stay for a while. Are you willing to give it a try?
