From Clothes to Hair Accessories, Bows are Taking Over: Shop The Ultra-Girly Trend

From the runways to street style, bows are taking over. There’s no denying it: the ultra-feminine trend is everywhere. You’ve likely spotted hair bows adorning the heads of your favorite influencers and It-girls, but the distinctly girlish detail is not stopping at the top. Clothing with bows, shoes, and accessories are all on the must-haves list for this year, and it’s going to be hard to resist their charm.

The bow craze is likely an offshoot of hyperfeminine trends including balletcore, coquette core, and of course, Barbiecore. And while they’re certainly having a major fashion moment right now, bows never really go out of style. They add a sweet, playful, festive touch to any outfit–and who couldn’t use a little of that?

When you want to be sweet, romantic, or maybe even a little flirty, bows are a girl’s best friend. They can dress up even the simplest t-shirt and jeans look– just add a bow at your neckline, whether it’s via jewelry, a scarf, or your top itself, or step into the trend with bow-accented shoes, and see how your outfit instantly elevates. This is a trend that’s easy to incorporate into your daily fits. From hair bows to clothing embellishments, here are some of our favorite ways to wear the trend.

Hair Bows

Wearing a bow in your hair is an easy way to elevate your hairstyle. A satin ribbon bow sets off a braid or ponytail, while a thin velvet bow is the perfect cottagecore accessory to tie back a section of soft curls.
