One of my favorite accessories to wear is a headband. I just don’t feel right without a large bow or some sort of sparkle on my head. This love for bows on my head has recently been transformed into a love for bows anywhere. Recent trends have allowed everyone to wear bows in very different ways than just on a headband. One such way is to turn your hair in to a bow itself. It was popularized by Lady Gaga, but can also be done at home. Whether the bow is done right on top of your head or more subtly in a half-up half-down style, this is an easy way to add some unexpected flair to an outfit.

Another way to introduce bows to your wardrobe is through your clothing. The dress below features a large bow at the neckline. The bow becomes the focal point of the entire outfit. When wearing such a large bow it is important to keep the rest of the outfit simple. Everything the woman is wearing is in black and white, which compliments her Parisian style and prevents her from looking childish.

Another way to introduce bows into your wardrobe is to do so subtly. If you’re nervous about trying a bold bow, a blouse with a bow print allows you to start small. The classic silk blouse keeps your outfit sophisticated while still adding a girly touch.
One of the greatest features of bows is that they can be incorporated from head to toe. Sometimes the highlight of an outfit can be the shoes. With a large bow on your pair of heels, your shoes are sure to be noticed.

A large bow in your hair can be dramatic, while a bow on a pair of flats can be delicate. Either way bows can add a girly touch to any outfit. Any ribbon can be turned into a bow will give you a quick and easy way to try this trend out for yourself!
