Fashion Trend: Bows
At the risk of going into embellishment overload, we’re finding that there’s yet another potentinally fussy detail that’s trendy this season, and that’s the bow. So let’s take inventory -- ruffles, pleating, draping, bubble hems, bows . . . We could easily move into 80s prom nightmare here, but fortunately, no one is suggesting we wear all these at once. Instead, it’s about an emphasis on femininity, and the bow is just another option. Tips:
Scale is key. As with all pattern/embellishment, keep your body type in mind. A petite woman should never burden herself with a giant-sized bow, and likewise a teeny-tiny bow may not make quite the impact you’d like if you are on the curvier side.
Keep it on the garment or shoe, but not in the hair. Nuff said.
One bow is plen-ty. With this trend, we think simplicity is key -- one bow, and preferably minimal additional embellishment. We like this understated metallic poet blouse from Forever 21 for $22.80 and this pretty Eyelet Border Top on sale for $24.99 at Ann Taylor LOFT
